Hi Ladies,
Well I just got caught up on all the posts from earlier today. I’m from the opposite side of the country, Oregon. I’m sorry to hear about all the terrible weather you guys are having.
I hope it warms up soon. We’re setting records for warm temps for this time of yr for us. It’s supposed to be 84 tomorrow & back down to the 60s by the weekend, which is more
like it. It’s all weird!! Our warm weather usually doesn’t start till May, if we’re lucky.
Barbara, thanks for the tip about the cookbook Cooking for Two. Maybe David (ITKWD) will have one on his show sometime. I love to watch his shows. He’s such a clown.
I made potato salad today. When I make it, it feels like summer to me, or at least on the way. It’s my grandma’s recipe.
As for shrimp, I clean em, then saute them in butter just long enough for them to turn pink. It doesn’t take long. I season them with a garlic salt, or one of those mixed seasoning
salts. I could eat shrimp till the cows come home. The local grocery store have em on sale for $5.00 or so per pound sometimes. I get a handful & have a couple meals out of
them. I think it’s shrimp season out here, cuz the local stores are having them on sale.
My dad was a hunter & fisherman, so I grew up eating game, venison, elk, salmon, trout, etc., so I’m used to that type of food.
When I worked at Hewlett Packard, one of the co founders (Bill Hewlett) came to the plant, & I said Hello, Mr. Hewlett, and he stopped me & kindly told me to call him Bill. He said
his mother didn’t name him Mister. so we were told to address everyone by their first name, even the founders of the company. It was such a wonderful place to work back then.
I hear not so much anymore. It was a family, and employee oriented company. I sure miss that. You don’t find that anymore. It’s all profit, profit, profit based now.
I’m glad that woman got the boot from DWTS this week. I could not believe her attitude!! She needs that chip on her shoulder knocked off.
Well, I guess that wraps it up for me tonight.
take care. I’m gonna try to send some more pics. wish me luck
