Plus I just remembered, it was the Brady Bunch, “Pork chops and applesauce, now isn’t that SWELL.” No succotash, sorry!

Bee, it cannot be oversold: the shrimp is simply divine! I’d be thrilled to make you dinner any time.

I am so willing to have someone else make me dinner, particularly if they make this fried shrimp!!

Min, you poor, poor thing! I was once without an oven for a month, but without a stove would be worse, I think. At least it’s summer so you can grill!

I love the random recipe feature. Unfortunately, I have not made use of the recipe index. We have been without the use of a stove for a month because of gas line problems in our building. I am getting by with an electric burner, a George Foreman grill, and rotisserie chickens from the market. I am at my wits end (to put it mildly) with the situation and can’t wait to do some real cooking and try out some things in your index.

Jo, sob! Kulu kulu without me! I’m surprised they let you in alone! Next time we’re together, I’ll do the shrimp. It’s gorgeous! And I got your important email and replied: thrilling news!

Min, we can get bison in one of our CT supermarkets but not the other. It comes vacuum-packed and is rather longer-lifed than freshly ground meat. We find it MUCH more flavorful than beef, a much smoother texture and virtually fat free. LOVE it! I’m glad you like the photos. How is the recipe index for you?

Is bison easy to come by? I have never tried it but have been tempted? Is it better than beef? Your photos are great!

Well, speaking of Sushi — guess where I was Tuesday night? Kulu Kulu — without you! Not nearly as much fun sitting there by myself eating just a few little plates of stuff…and no spinach with peanut sauce — I’ll just have to wait for your return!
Glad you’re still having fun in the kitchen — wish I was there to partake as the shrimp sounds divine — just my sort of thing.…
I sent you an important e-mail — keep an eye out! Love, Jo
Sending best regards to Joohn’s mom.…

Well, frying things isn’t a good idea all the time, but I do think that if you’re going to EAT something fried, you might as well know exactly what’s going into it! Has the heat abated there yet, Ann? We just had a major rainstorm, so maybe… we can hope! I just subscribed to your blog so I can keep up on what’s going on…

Again Kristen — A lovely post and such a yummy dinner. I haven’t tried a true “fry” of anything yet … but your shrimp looks far better than any thing out there. And the sauce — well just yum!. I am so happy to hear that cooking feels like “home” to you. Have a wonderful week! ann
