Ground Turkey, Penne, Veggie Sauté… Pork Chop with Asparagus, Carrots, Ciabatta and Bruschetta & Sliced Mango with Mint

 Vaccinated supper tonite… Live from NYC…

Stunning day… temps in the high 70’s… low humidity… bright azure skies… energizing after days of sticky heat… no occupants of our backyard nest resulting in it being removed last week… today two robins have seemingly decided to adopt the same spot… nest building beginning once again over the garage lights facing the house… hoping these two lovelies decide to move it 🤞with their pretty blue eggs 🪺 

Breakfast for three out on the deck…  coffee ☕️🧋for two… with turkey and salami mini wraps… Mr Sam lying on the warm boards snoozing nest to to his kibble and water 😽

Hubs hanging in his workshop… yours truly out in the greenhouse… fussing over plants… giving the morning glories a larger pot in their corner spot near the back door…  tomatoes 🍅 looking fabulous... lots of itty bitty tomatoes getting larger each day 😁 Planting mini sweet peppers this year…  lots of teeny peppers growing… green so far… cucumbers quite prolific… harvesting two good size Kirby’s thus far… plan has many more to come 🥒 

Supper tonite… fridge clean out...  ground turkey sautéed with olive oil, onion, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, red pepper flake… a bit of leftover juices from a recent pernil… a small can of unsalted tomato sauce… a bit of white wine… about 6 ounces of uncooked penne… brought it all to a boil… covered and simmered for about 12 minutes… added in roasted tomatoes and onions from the oven… some chiffonade parsley leaves and voilá… dinner is served… alongside… a crisp bright Vinho Verde... El Gatao 🥂

Couple of past suppers… grilled pork chops with roasted asparagus and carrots… ciabatta with bruschetta alongside… crunchy… adding a zing to the meal… sliced mango 🥭 with fresh greenhouse mint 🪴 

Went to the movies for the first time in 2+ years yesterday to see Maverick… highly recommend… excellent entertaining film… extremely well done… a needed break from all the drama of daily life 🎥 

Watching the Jan 6 hearing today… need time to process all the information received… a bit overwhelming for sure…  still simmering regarding recent SCOTUS decisions relative to personal autonomy and gun rights in NY 🤨
