Mom was lucky enough to be given some fresh gulf shrimp by a friend at work yesterday night. After momentarily salivating we planned our menu. Peppers, tomatoes, vidalias, parmesan and feta, tossed together with thin spaghetti. I didn't even have time to complain about peeling them before Pandora was switched on and an ice cold Bud was within an easy reach. My favorite part of cooking dinner is what leads up to sitting down and eating. All the parts coming together in perfect harmony to produce this meal that is there for two things, to keep us fat and happy and to bring people together. That's what food's all about for me. Like a back porch barbecue or crawfish boil for example, you do these things to bring people together, to provide for friends and family and for good times to be had. Our gulf shrimp pasta turned out great. Lemony and buttery, finger-lickin' good pasta. A multi-grain baguette sliced with fresh garlic, herbs and lathered in rich butter. All was well in Roswell on a Wednesday night in May. Keep good days like this one coming, and it wont take much to make me a happy gent.
and I was the lucky participant...good food, great times with special people! bellisimo!
