Pernil and Red Cabbage Slaw

 Vaccinated supper tonite… Live from NYC…

Bright blue skies… few clouds strung like fraying cotton across the horizon… light breeze… temps climbing into the high 50’s… a foraging flock of sparrows… robins… starlings and a couple of cardinals gracing the backyard today… munching insects (thank you) and gathering grass seed (glad there is extra) digging in the soft soil of the herb garden… leaving tiny little footprints on the slate walkway 🐾


Breakfast today…  hot coffee ☕️ with yogurt, berries 🫐 and a banana 🍌for the hubs… iced coffee🧋and a banana 🍌 and a drop of yogurt and kibble for Mr Sam 😽


Too lovely a day to stay inside… dropping by the USPO… sending off the taxes… sooo glad that’s over!  Popping into a couple of spots…finishing up errands…  back home in time for a delightful afternoon walk with Mariya… post walk tea 🫖 with the hubs and delicious chocolate chip banana pecan muffins (by Mariya) made the afternoon fly by 🧁


Supper tonite… pernil… pork shoulder cooked low and slow… four hours in the slow cooker on high… fat side up… two hours in the oven at 325°F…  finally 15 minutes under the broiler to crisp up that chicharrón... boned (at home) butterflied… seasoned liberally with salt, pepper, garlic, onion, Cajun spice mix and smoked paprika… served with red cabbage slaw (shredded red cabbage… shredded carrots… diced red onion) in a dijonaise dressing… served alongside a Guinness 🍺🐷


Russia preparing to surge troops into Ukraine once again… committing atrocities and murdering civilians #peaceforukraine 🇺🇦 

As Shanghai locks down it’s residents over another covid 🦠 spike… and builds a quarantine wing to hold thousands… BA2 variant cases are beginning to rise across the US… this is the time to practice self care #GetYourJabOn   mask up and wash those germy hands 😷💕

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