So it's been four months with the Airman. He's still here. That's saying a lot. Anyway. He's a tad under the weather these days so I wanted to do something nice for him. I thought about making what my friend Jen calls "Jewish penicillin" but I went the Pioneer Woman route instead and made shrimp scampi.
Now, my mother makes this dish fairly often and it tastes really, really, good. She also puts about a whole stick of butter in the pot. I can't live like that. I like that my heart beats (fairly) regularly. I used slightly less butter and a dry white that was on the sweeter side. The end result was a flavorful but light dish that I would love to make for a crowd.
Here are some photos.
I done good.
In more writerly type news, the date is being set very soon for the first Hampden Writers' Workshop!!! It will be a one day seminar. We are also planning an Open House so that prospective students can meet the teachers!
