Vaccinated supper tonite… Live from NYC…
After yesterdays broiling heat (95°F) a delightful day with temps back in the mid 70’s… a layer of clouds ☁️ keeping the sun ☀️ at bay… early drizzle giving robins a chance to feast on worms and insects in the grasses… sparrows chittering in the oaks… morning dove cooing on the front roof… life returning to the Big Baked Apple 🍎
Breakfast for three… kibble for Mr Sam lounging on the deck… the hubs enjoying his omelette with hot coffee ☕️ yours truly grabbing a banana 🍌 and iced coffee🧋heading out the door to the market… groceries for Mom and a visit 👵
Finding a bag of mixed summer stone fruit on the bargain shelves… red plums, black plums, empress plums, peaches and nectarines… thinking about a tart… or maybe preserves?
Mom is doing well… stable… fully vaxxed and twice boosted… playing bridge twice a week… visiting with her group of friends often… having friends up to her apartment… reading lots of books… getting an extra special visit from her granddaughter-in-law and great-granddaughter… her social life fully resumed… she is happy… sitting with her while she and her sweet aide ate their suppers… regaling her with stories and photos 🎞
Supper tonite… leftover pernil from our Labor Day supper with friends… red cabbage and carrot slaw… fresh fruit salad of plums, peaches and nectarines (some of the bag were perfect for eating raw) unfortunately all the corn muffins were finished 😟 paired with a delicious Claret 🍷
Remaining plums, peaches and nectarines peeled and chopped (about 3 c) into the pot with lemon juice… simmered gently… covered… for about 15 minutes… stirred in 1c sugar whisked with 2 tbsp of powdered pectin till dissolved… brought back to a boil… cooked for one more minute then poured into clean Bon Maman jars… covered… cooled on the counter… labeled and popped into the fridge to gel… will be delicious on toasted english muffins for breakfast 😋
Too many shootings over the week to count… our hearts are completely shattered… something must be done to curb the extreme violence… so many lost… so many traumatized… so many with life threatening injuries… our neighbors to the north in Canada beginning the process of buying back assault style weapons… as was done in New Zealand… we are at the breaking point 😢🥺
Covid still a risk… little ones 6 months and up may be eligible for vaccination by the fall as Pfizer and Moderna apply for emergency use authorization #GetYourJabOn and since our NYC risk level is High… Mask up and wash those germy hands 😷💕
How was your day? What’s on your plate? Thoughts?
