Vaccinated supper tonite… Live from NYC…
An all weather day… morning beginning with wind and rain… temps in the high 40’s… drizzly afternoon… late afternoon skies clearing… bright sun… blue skies… temps into the mid 60’s… birds are returning to the area as spring blooms… yellow bellied flycatchers… cardinals… grackles… red winged blackbirds… robins… doves and of course the ever present pigeons and sparrows… circling on air currents hawks and falcons search for prey their wings outstretched as they float high above the treetops 🦅
Breakfast for three… Mr Sam crunching his kibble… the hubs with his hot java ☕️ yours truly… iced coffee🧋in hand… a delightful breakfast gift from our uber talented next door neighbor Athina… homemade tsoureki (Greek Easter bread) topped with sliced almonds and sesame seeds… each small loaf just enough for two… a delightful sweet brioche scented with almond… and there’s another loaf for tomorrow… we are so grateful… she is such a talented baked and cook 😋
Scooted over to the market picking up Moms groceries for the week… zooming over for a visit and delivery… Mom looking snappy in a deep green shirt and pants… chatting for a bit then… SURPRISE… a visit from her brand new great granddaughter, grandson and granddaughter-in law… what a delight… Mom glowing with joy to meet this new little Princess 👸🏻💖
Couple of recent suppers… leftover mustard marinated pork tenderloin with baked buttered red potato, brussel sprouts and corn maque choux… delicious 😋
Chicken breast cubes marinated in olive oil with salt, pepper, garlic, onion, turmeric, smoked paprika and thyme for about 20 minutes… sautéed in the pan while tomatoes, red peppers, broccoli florets and broccoli coins (stems sliced into thin rounds) roasted in olive oil in the oven and pasta boiled in salted water on the cooktop… when the chicken was almost cooked through added in the roasted tomatoes and broccoli coins… simmered for a few moments then added in the pasta with a bit of pasta water and the remainder of the roasted veggies… the zest and juice of one small lemon… tossing to thoroughly coat… bright flavor thanks to the roasted oil and lemon 🍋
Last night José Andres appeared on Colbert… World Central Kitchen… one of the finest charities doing the work to feed the hungry wherever disaster strikes… currently in Ukraine 🇺🇦 #peaceforukraine
Omicron variants spreading rapidly across the US… Some Americans may be done with the pandemic… but it’s surely not done with us #GetYourJabOn get boosted… mask up and wash those germy hands 😷💕
How was your day? What’s on your plate? Thoughts?
