I ate granola, yogurt, milk, and blueberries and sliced banana for breakfast. After watching my daily dose of Governor Cuomo I rode 8 miles south. I had a head wind while riding south so I pushed a bit further thinking I would be blown home, but when I turned there was a headwind with the occasional crosswind that made getting home quite a job. Luckily the bike does not have any high gears so I can cruise along at a moderate speed, coasting occasionally. I made it home around 11:30.
Suzette took me on a tour of the garden and the work she had done in my absence and she heated the BBQ ribs made at the Greenhouse Bistro and I ate the lunch the Bistro staff made, including Caesar salad, a vinaigrette vegetable medley, and coleslaw plus a small pile of bread and butter pickles Suzette had made. I thought the meal was mostly okay. The only thing that excited me were the pickles, which the staff had not made.
After lunch I lay down for a nap. I finished Educated by Tara Westover.
We started cooking at 6:00. I went to the garden and picked chives, basil, and oregano plus a few scapes.
Suzette wanted to make eggplant Parmesan with spaghetti with the meat and mushroom sauce I made a few weeks ago and we froze.
I chopped two large mushrooms, about 1 T. of onion, some basil leaves, six chives, and about ½ cup of oregano leaves.
I added all these ingredients to the spaghetti sauce to freshen it up a bit.
Suzette sliced an eggplant and brushed the slices with olive oil and inserted a slice of mozzarella between each slice of eggplant and drizzled spaghetti sauce on the slices and baked them in the oven until cooked.
Suzette heated a pot of water and we dropped a lb. bag of vermicelli into the water and a little latter a handful of string beans.
Here is the picture.
We opened a bottle of Aquino Reserva Chianti.
Later I ate a piece of fruit cake with a glass of grappa, and a chai.
Bon Appetit
