The First Mate is frying garlic, onions and some juicy Italian pork sausages. She also has a bunch of thyme from our greenhouse.

Today has been rainy so she stayed in the cabin making tomato sauce all topped with grated Parmesan cheese. The boat smells delightful! Spaghetti will be the base for the sauce and sausages and a Caesar salad rounds out the meal.

We have a ripe Bosc pear soaking in a bit of brandy for dessert

Regarding prices, I’ve noticed them going down, (except on Block Island where asparagus was $8 a bunch!). This is true in NYC, upstate NY/PA and in Haverstraw, NY.

It’s kind of strange for an economy the Republicans claim is in decline!
