Vaccinated supper tonite… Live from NYC…
Stunning day today! Temps hit 70°F… what a delight… bright skies… light breeze… no jacket required… feeling like spring finally arrived ☀️🌹🪷
A whirlwind of sounds… bird calls… tweets… chirps… squawks… and melodies 🎶 driving through the neighborhood noticing teeny baby leaves opening on the maple trees along with tiny polynoses… splashes of bright pink cherry blossoms… white and purple magnolias… baby pink apple blooms looking like a flock of butterflies landed in one tree 🦋
Breakfast for three… Mr Sam post kibble… lounging in the sun enjoying the warmth from the deck boards… the hubs drinking hot tea 🫖 munching oatmeal with raisins… banana 🍌 patrol along with iced coffee🧋for yours truly
Off for a quick visit with Princess Veronica 👸🏻 Mommy and Daddy… relaxing in the backyard… enjoying the warmth of the day… munchkin snoozing in her bassinet… such a pleasure to chat with our son and DIL… settling into their new family routine… all feeling healthy 💖
Back home to attend to chores… never ending laundry 🧺 a few calls 📞 finally scooting into the kitchen for some playtime 🙃
Picked up a Tsoureki (Greek Easter bread) at the market three days ago… perfectly aged and ready for bread pudding today… delicious flavor of almond baked into the eggy bread… cubed 3/4 of the loaf 🍞 scrambled six extra large eggs with 1 c half and half… a pinch of salt and 2 level Tbsp powdered sugar… poured over the cubes and tossed to cover… added 1/2 c slivered almonds and 1/2 c mini semi sweet chocolate chips and mixed well… baked in a 9”X12” baking dish for about 35 minutes at 350°F until the top was golden brown 😋
While baking… marinating pork tenderloin in a mustard brown sugar mixture (3 tbsp spicy brown mustard, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1/3 tsp ground rosemary, 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar and 2 tbsp dry sherry) for about 20 minutes… seared in the cast iron until instant read thermometer reached 138°F Rested 10 minutes… served alongside roasted haricot verts and baked potatoes with sour cream and butter… and a glass of Line 39 Cabernet 🍷 the bread pudding making a delightful dessert along with decaf ☕️ for the hubs
Seeing the folks in Ukraine 🇺🇦 finally getting out of Mariupol… shell shocked… haunted eyes… feeling heartbroken 💔 #peaceforukraine
Seeing the infection rate climbing once again in America… the lockdowns in China’s major cities… we may feel done with the pandemic… but clearly covid isn’t done with us #GetYourJabOn be protected… mask up and wash those germy hands 😷💕
How was your day? What’s on your plate? Thoughts?
