New England Clam Chowder, Turkey Cutlets, Sautéed Kale, Fresh Homemade Baguette

 Vaccinated supper tonite… Live from NYC…

A brief morning rain…  afternoon weather morphing into bright skies…  few clouds remaining overhead… light breeze… 68°F  a taste of spring… folks out wearing light jackets…  hats and scarves off…  kids playing ball at the playground…  little ones with parents on swings and slides… neighbors out prepping ground for spring gardens… life slowly returning to the Big Apple 🍎 


Breakfast for three… the hubs coffee ☕️ and cottage cheese winning out  over yesterdays omelette… iced coffee🧋and a banana 🍌 Mr Sam enjoying his morning kibble followed by a nap 💤  Afternoon skies begging for outdoor activities… Mr Sam stretching out on the deck… hubs taking a nice long walk… yours truly in the greenhouse watering rosemary and thyme… checking supplies… soon time for spring clean up 🧹🧼🧽 


Post walk lunch… baked beef empañadas… light and delicious… our local market baking them fresh… a walk post lunch… no jacket required 😁


Supper tonite… New England clam chowder… Turkey cutlets with sautéed kale and bacon crumbles… fresh homemade baguette 🥖 served alongside a glass of Sauvignon Blanc 🥂

Trying a new take on breading for the cutlets… salt and pepper… then instead of egg and crumbs… used potato flakes… stuck like glue to the cutlets… no egg needed… so delicious… flavor of french fries… we both enjoyed it immensely 😋


Dessert… dear friends brought us mini eclairs yesterday filled with Bavarian cream and topped with dark chocolate… scrumptious… with tea for the hubs 🫖 


Ukraine continues to suffer needlessly at the hands of a childish dictator only interested in the accumulation of power…  our hearts are broken for the Ukrainian people 🇺🇦 facing immense obstacles as they fight valiantly for their democracy.  We all need to be grateful for our democratic government… it may be messy… and loud… but it allows us the freedoms we enjoy today… never forget…  tyrants who would take it from us continue to exist even today 🇺🇸 


Covid infections, hospitalizations and deaths continue to fall… we are excited to see the cautious lifting of mask mandates in many areas of America 🤞

How was your day?   What on your plate?   Thoughts?
