Vaccinated supper tonite… Live from NYC…
Slowly slipping back into winter… temps dropping each day… tonite in the high 30’s… by tomorrow night the low 20’s 🥶 Showers mixed with bright sun as the clouds shift… a few dark ominous thunder boomers passing us by to the north and west… group of sparrows chirping at one another... vying for mates… healthy male robin hopping about in the grass during the drizzle waiting for a worm or bug to come up for air ☔️
Breakfast for three… Mr Sam’s healthy appetite apparent as he scarfs down his kibble… mini wrap of turkey and Genoa salami each with hot coffee ☕️ for the hubs…🧋iced pour moi… he is off to his workshop to create… enjoying the wood of a few discarded pallets 🔨🪚
Saturday play day in the kitchen… chopping vegetables… onions… garlic… parsnips… celery… red pepper… sautéing till softened… adding in homemade chicken stock… simmering low and slow as the vegetables tenderize… couple of bay leaves… rosemary branch… sage stalk… Penzey’s Mural Spice Mix (thanks Marcia) adding in a cooked diced chicken breast… celery leaves and fresh parsley… juice of one lemon… a final adjustment of salt and pepper and voilá… delicious warming chicken vegetable soup 😋
Supper tonite… chicken soup 🥣 warmth for the soul… london broil 🥩 rice 🌾 roasted balsamic eggplant 🍆 Friends dropped by… Andrew & Mariya joining us for a Prosecco toast 🥂 and Ice cream 🍨 for dessert… vanilla for Andrew and the hubs… espresso chip for yours truly 🍦 All in all a delightful day 🙃
Caught the President on the evening news in Poland meeting with NATO leaders… Ukraine 🇺🇦 getting battered in this unnecessary war… hoping for a quick resolution for the people of both countries 🥺 as they suffer needlessly #peaceforukraine
New BA2 Covid infections on a slow rise… finger crossed that we don’t experience another surge… influenza cases rising as well… keep those masks handy folks… catching the flu is no fun… great time to practice self care and #GetYourJabOn Mask up when needed… and wash those germy hands 😷💕
How was your day? What’s on your plate? Thoughts?
