I still haven't spoken with Robby and Morgan to see if they are interested in helping me make this thing come alive. I did, however, make a shrimp and pasta dish for dinner last night. I used 16/20 peeled and deveined shrimp, a couple of calamari steaks, a bit of white wine, one bunch of asparagus (chopped into bite size pieces) olive oil, garlic, onion, basil, parsley, salt/pepper, a few shakes of tobasco and raw almonds.. threw everything in a pan on the stovetop and let it simmer for about 2o minutes. I sliced the calamari steaks into small strips once they were cooked, then I mixed in some pasta and a bit of sour cream, and voila, dinner. Instead of parmasean cheese to melt on top, I used Feta. Have you discovered Feta cheese yet? My daughter Erin started requesting it a month or so ago, so I bought that biggish container of it at our local COSCO for $6.00. We are now going through about 1 container of it per week because the stuff is good on everything. Apples, eggs, toast, blueberries (Yes! Blueberries!) sandwiches, salad.. and fish!

Which reminds me.. I need to order some Sockeye salmon for tomorrow night's dinner! The Sockeye is coming in from Alaska and boy is it crazy delicious. I like to order it with its skin on and grill it. We'll see how we end up cooking it tomorrow night. I'll keep all six of you 'posted'. Ha!

Bon Appetite!
