Chicken Thighs, Haricots Vert and Fried Rice with Cranberry Apple Lemon Crumble & Pea Flowers

 Vaccinated supper tonite… Live from NYC…

Yawn ~  another cloudy day here in the Big Apple 🍎 temps on the cool side near 60°F…  missing the sun and it’s warmth… our cardinal couple are back in the neighborhood… saw the female today collecting nesting materials… bright flash of red under her wings as she flew by… several robins nibbling insects and worms in the garden and lawn… haven’t seen mama squirrel for a couple of days… possibly tending to a new litter of babies… few folks out… too chilly for a walk with no sun and a stiff breeze ☁️ 💨 


Breakfast for three… Mr Sam gobbling kibble… the hubs munching a bowl of Cheerios with his hot java ☕️ same old iced coffee🧋no bananas to be had… long past time for a trip to the market 🛒 


Spending the day dusting and setting up the guest room… making it available for our son and DIL to use…. they have given an extra bassinet and bouncer to us for their use when here… along with linens and other necessaries… adding a rocking chair and pillows… it’s been over 30 years since there’s been a nursery in this house…  a delightful change to look forward to 💖


Supper tonite… roasted chicken thighs (salt, pepper, garlic, onion, turmeric, smoked paprika, thyme, oregano and a bit of olive oil… Marinated about 45 minutes) with haricots vert and fried rice (leftover brown rice, onion slices, garlic, celery, ginger, two scrambled eggs mixed with soy sauce, and red pepper flake) not pictured… baked acorn squash with agave nectar…

Dessert… cranberry apple crumble with lemon juice and zest… bright, sweet and tart… perfect combination 😋💕


Pleased to see Germany stepping up to aide Ukraine 🇺🇦  in their efforts to defend their democracy… feeling hopeful #peaceforukraine

Mom got her second Pfizer booster today… she is feeling well… no apparent side effects… we are grateful for the vaccine💉keeping her safe 

#GetYourJabOn and join those who are protected from serious Covid…

Mask up and wash those germy hands 😷💕

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