Yummie food

One day last week I was at Publix after work and passed the seafood section, normally I keep on walking because I can't stand the smell, but that day I decided to stop and get 1/2lb of peeled/de-veined shrimp. I took it home and asked Hardy to try and make shrimp scampi, I figured it would be easiest. I've never cooked shrimp myself, unless it was in one of those frozen dinners (Voila, Contessa..etc).

In my opinion, the outcome was better than Red Lobster and that says a lot considering that's the only place I'll eat shrimp (I hate cold shrimp and fried shrimp). Since I found it so tasty, I thought I'd share the ingredients...he added all of these without measurement, so feel free to go over or under.


Hardy's Shrimp Scampi

-Shrimp (peeled/de-veined)
-White wine
-Paprika
-Parsley
-Melted butter (we used 2 tablespoons)
-Minced garlic

He mixed all of this together in a bowl with the shrimp while heating some oil in a pan on the oven. Add shrimp to pan (remaining juices and all) and cook till opaque/pink.

We ate a salad and baked potato with it and that seemed perfect, but I'm sure it would be tasty on some pasta too.

Golden Globes

I don't generally like award shows except to see some of my favorite actors/actresses/musicians.

Within the first 20mins of tonight's awards I saw the beautiful (in my opinion) Johnny Depp :) so my night was pretty much set!

I was also so excited, the one and only award I was crossing my fingers for was Jessica Lange for best supporting actress in American Horror Story - and she won!!

A little Journey to get you through the day

 

About 6yrs ago I bought Journey's Greatest Hits after hearing Separate Ways almost every day on a local radio station.  Most people only know of Don't Stop Believing, but Journey has a ton of great songs.  I can listen to this album from start to finish repeatedly.  It is an especially GREAT listen while I'm at work, it's soft enough to play throughout the day without interrupting anyone else.  So if you're a fan of "soft-rock" so to speak or 80s' music in general, if you don't own this CD you're missing out.

 

Just sayin'

 

Its a blustery day

Winnie the Pooh: Happy "Winds-day", Piglet.

Piglet: Well... it isn't... very happy... f-for me.

Winnie the Pooh: Where are you going, Piglet?

Piglet: That's what I'm asking myself, where?

I wonder...

While driving home from work today I all of the sudden had the urge to write a fictional story. I can't get it out of my head and the more I think about it, the more details come to light.

I have no idea if I'm even capable of writing something I or even others would want to read...but as soon as I get this virus off my laptop, I'm going to start typing away and see where it takes me.
