What's for Dinner ... Friday?
Comments (11)I had an enjoyable husband-less evening last night. He went night fishing with a buddy; left around five and returned after eleven. I collected some garden veggies and made a quick stir fry with some thawed frozen shrimp, garlic, and ginger. Plus a nice glass of wine, long gab sessions with family and friends, Orange is the New Black binging, and I was a happy camper for a few hours, lol. He sent me text videos of the water, of fish they caught (and released), of bats swooshing around the boat lights, of the sunset, and even of their hilarious banter. So I had a great evening!...See MoreWhat's for Dinner ... Friday:
Comments (12)We shared some blue crab nachos for lunch which were very good. For dinner we are going to use the remaining grilled shrimp from last night add some homemade Pico made with Vidalia onions and fresh tomatoes and lime juice a little shredded lettuce and wrap it up in a flour tortilla. I have cantaloupe and fresh cherries for desert. The wind is gusting very strong here at the beach today, I was wondering if we were going to blow away! Other than that beautiful day here today. They served home made fresh cooked potato chips with our lunch, they were fried dark and seasoned with Fajita seasoning... Omg mmm... I could eat a sinful amount of those....See MoreWhat's for Dinner ... Friday?
Comments (18)Its confusing because it goes against what has been the accepted common knowledge since perhaps the early 1800's. The farmers growing them and calling them yams, are wrong. The grocers selling them and calling them yams, are wrong. The companies canning them and labeling them as yams, are wrong. The people who first introduced them to the United States called them yams, perhaps to distinguish them from the different variety of sweet potatoes that were already on the market, they were wrong too. Even some sites on the web that try to explain the difference with helpful images like this one: http://www.frugallivingnw.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/yams-sweet-potatoes-is-there-a-difference-2.jpg are wrong. (hint they are all sweet potatoes, despite their labels) So it is not at all surprising that what I learned at a young age from my mother and grandmother, and which was continually re-enforced every Thanksgiving or every time I visited a grocery store, is wrong. I have never eaten a true yam in my life, and seeing some of the pictures of what a true yam look like, I probably never will. Does it harm me in any way if other people choose to call some varieties of sweet potatoes "yams", no. It merely bothers the pedantic part of me a little when someone asserts something to be a fact, when they are in fact wrong....See MoreWhat's for Dinner ... Friday?
Comments (9)Our landlords must have made a stop in Ohio Shirley! That happens to us regularly! LOL Hubby has the urge for a ham, so we bought one today and will have that with some potatoes and green beans tomorrow. I made a pasta salad and my Asian coleslaw....See More

Leftovers from last night. On the grill: trout, clams, itty bitty lobster tails, garlic bread. Corn on the cob on the side. Cherry cobbler for dessert. Not that I had room for dessert!

Friday is always homemade pizza night.
After reading what Nicole had though, I've got a mean craving for some chicken enchiladas!
