The Best Thing To Eat After Being Stuck in a Blizzard
The weather in New York has been insane lately. I left work a little early to make it home safe and sound, because it looked like the roads were getting bad. I had no idea how bad they were until 4 1/2 hours later when I got home, safe. It was a treacherous drive (going the wrong way on streets, driving through fallen trees and over power lines...never reaching more than 20mph), and I'm so thankful that I made it back in one piece. I'm also thankful that Dino had a gin & tonic ready for me when I walked in the door, and that he agreed to cook dinner so I could relax. He made this lovely chicken pita sandwich that was just perfect. It had a ton of flavor, so I'll see if he remembers what he did so I can post a recipe here. I think it would taste best without the blizzard, but it was a wonderful end to a less than wonderful day.
This has been one insane winter. I can see why you needed a gin and tonic when you arrived home, after that drive.
ReplyDeleteThe meal looks delicious.
Spring will soon be here!
1) I'm so glad you made it home safely that night!!!
ReplyDelete2) Thumbs up to Dino for taking such good care of you. He's a keeper!!!
Indeed, Friday was one hot mess! But wow does that sandwich look worth the battle! We may get more this week, but I hope its rain. Enough already!
ReplyDeleteHaha - yeah, I mean, it was worth a drive for sure...but I dunno that I'd want to relive that commute for another tasty sammich ;)
ReplyDeleteMy stomach is in knots when I have to drive in that kind of weather, and the obstacles you overcame. Gin and tonic and a wonderful sandwich, oh yeah, that would definitely help soothe away a wretched drive. What a sweetie Dino is!
