Monday morning. Just hard to put a positive spin on those two words. Even Republican Strategists, who brought you the "Healthy Forest Initiative" to cut down old-growth trees, can only come up with: Manic Monday Mania!
Doesn't really work, does it?
Just got done cleaning up last night's supper. Made Mexican Shrimp cocktails. Most of the clean-up was actually brushing into the trash the broken giant margarita glass I used to make it in. I'd just finished saying, "Fuzzy, it's all about presentation" when Max sent in a looping bouncy-ball and cleared the kitchen counter.
That's irony.
Shrimp cocktail? Sort of prep-work and practice for Cinco de Mayo. Call it Cinco de Sunday!
Damn good if I do say so myself, might be willing to go "producciones" with it on Thursday if I can find more serving glasses. Might use plastic next time.
Saturday night we had friends over (been a while, almost forgot how): Tom & Amy (who are getting married this summer). They're, like, old people like us.
Homemade Italian-style thin crust pizzas as the entree. For appetizers, it was Grissini bread sticks and Bagna Cauda -- a mixture of anchovy paste, olive, garlic, spices. For dessert we made pre-incarceration Martha's steamed mocha pudding. Yummm....
Apparently my time volunteering at the cookin' skuul is paying off!
Mmmm... I love it when a dinner comes together! to paraphrase the A-Team's fearless leader.
