I cooked beef bourguignon using #juliachildrecipe, but modified the process to be easier, using the stove, dutch oven and baked it for 4 1/2 hours at 325F. This inspired me to work today.
The smell of red wine, chicken stock instead of beef, as that is what I have, plus carrots, mushrooms, potatoes and white onions, steeped with a bouquet of thyme and bay leaves, permeated the entire house. What a delightful, easy recipe!
While baking in the oven, I cleaned the house. Almost daily, after listening to #jenpsaki‘s truthful, honest, factual, respectful press conference, I am hopeful and inspired by 46thUS President’s leadership @potus @coveringpotus in the White House and the decreasing number of #CoronaVirus cases.
I was also inspired by the kindness by the de facto goodwill ambassador of Los Angeles @directorrivera who has been cooking for artists and theater folks for 46 weeks, 317 days and now, am a beneficiary of his cooking, Pancit and Menudo.
Today, John Hopkins reported 446,403 deaths and 26,415,433 new cases, worldwide- 103,744,194 cases and 2,249,231 deaths in 192 countries/regions.
Last year, when I tracked these cases, new cases were in 187 countries/regions, now it is in 192 countries.
Best news, we are seeing healthworkers completing 2 doses of Pfizer BionTech vaccinations.
In California over 3,000,000 vaccine doses have been administered to Tier 1a, healthworkers and frontliners. Tier Ib, persons 65 and older, about 8 million are next in line and currently being vaccinated.
Hubby and I got our first doses of #Pfizer BionTech vaccine, in a few more days, the second dose. In the meantime, I am more connected to folks, by phone, text, email, messenger, and only physically close to my husband and 6yo #princess2015la, my granddaughter.
“Nationwide, at least 23.2 million people have received the vaccine, according to tracking by The Washington Post. About 5 million people have been fully vaccinated, or 1.5 percent of the U.S. population.”
