It’s a terrible disease. Prayers are on the way for him, MomwithHope.
Thanks, his name is Bill, early 60’s. Hubby talked with him on the phone last night. He doesn’t even remember any visits while in the hospital. Ventilator, ICU for a few weeks, tracheotomy and not able to eat for awhile. He is getting home therapy now after a few weeks in a rehab facility. They live very near a hardwood wet area. Since most horses have been vaccinated, the virus has migrated mostly to birds and some dogs. He told hubby last night he is totally convinced prayers from a lot of people saved him. Thank you again.
I dug potatoes this past week, and last night for supper I made Garlic Mashed Red Potatoes from some of my Red Norland spuds. A local Steak House we like offers these as a side dish and they are so, SO good!

...and then, since I still have an abundance of Kale (from only 3 plants!) I made Easy Kale Pesto, and I don’t know how I LIVED without this stuff! I made three batches and will probably make more. (I froze two and kept one in the fridge; made a generous half-pint each batch.)
One thing I added was a WHOLE lemon per batch. (Calls for 2 Tbsp., but a whole lemon usually gives you 3 Tbsp.) Juice the lemon and then rasp/zest the peel and add all of it into the other ingredients. Adjust the oil to make it as thick or thin as you like.
Do NOT forget to add the fresh Parmesan, (I added 1/4 cup per batch) though her recipe says it’s optional. Really? Parm, ‘optional?’ Not at my house, LOL!

This Blogger also has some very nice cookbooks!
I had my first taste over cheese-stuffed tortellini, and I served some to Beau on his cheese omlett this morning. I will also confess to sneaking a spoonful straight out of the jar. It’s THAT good!
