This was a rather full day of food with a minimum of PPIs. We usually cook new dishes on Sundays because we have time to do so.
We prepared breakfast at 10:00 by frying three strips of thick sliced bacon (Sprouts $2.99 this week). Suzette drained most of the bacon grease and then fried the PPI roasted potatoes from our roasted chicken dinner and then added two whisked eggs and a handful of grated Pecorino Romano cheese.
I toasted two flour tortillas and Suzette made a burrito and I made an open faced tortilla sandwich and sprinkled the last of the Cholula hot sauce on the top.
Here are pictures.

The pictures are above.
At 11:00 Suzette left for work in Los Lunas and I pruned the Don Juan rose bush on the back patio. At one point a large flock of sandhill cranes flew in a v formation high overhead on their way back to Canada. What a beautiful sight.
I then rested and at 3:00 made a chicken salad with cubes of roasted chicken, a cubed tomato, baby spinach, and tabouli and dressed it with Cesar dressing. I toasted a pita on the stove’s gas burner and cut the pita in half and stuffed each half with spinach, tomato and tabouli for a lovely sandwich and salad with a glass of water.
I then rode seven miles south and back. I reached the irrigated fields where several small flocks of sand hill cranes and Canadian geese were foraging the planted fields. I felt fine after the ride but tightened up a bit later.
While I rode Suzette made two loaves of banana nut bread with walnuts.
When I returned home we decided to cook dinner.
Suzette had set the menu, beer braised brats on a bed of mashed potatoes on a bed of fresh spinach garnished with sautéed sauerkraut and pickled beets. We each drank a Negra Modelo with the meal.
Suzette madevsauce for the dish by mixing Long’s Horseradish with sour crea,p,.
We have decided that since one of the approved prophylactic treatments for the virus is to gargle with salt water, we would eat fermented foods because we think the salt and vinegar in the pickling brine will have the same effect as gargling. I hope we are correct.
After dinner we ate a piece of banana nut bread.
Later we watched Disney’s “Mary Poppins Returns” and ate cookies and I drank chai.
Our hope is that we can stay at home, plant a garden, and eat well.
Suzette must go to work and continue her weekly shopping for the Center, so I may be able to avoid going out almost entirely.

Suzette returned around 4:00 and we watched a White House Coronavirus press briefing until 5:15 p.
