[For the 29th]

The prospect of brisket chili interrupted the projected spaghetti and TLT menu. Then the chili didn’t happen. So the sketti and TLT returned. But then I started wanting rice instead of pasta. And the seasoned burger satisfied at least part of my appetite for beef. So, the TLT half breast (#1 of 4) has thawed and is in the fridge. But instead of ground chuck, I’m thawing shrimp for Caribbean rice. I’ve been wanting to try the combo, so it’s on in place of the pasta. It’s never hard to talk me into shrimp.

It was almost crawfish étouffée, but I’ve had it before, fairly recently (the end of January). But I let my curiosity guide me this time. I doubt that I will be disappointed. And the étouffée will happen again. And Myka will love the shrimp nibbles. She has no idea yet.

There is not a whole lot going on today. I folded laundry, finally. The usual, Myka, horde, ice, et al. But nothing else. Diet has been finger food, no dishes. That will change, but it’s been quick fix for the last couple of days. Windows were open, southerly breeze, a spring day. 60s tonight.

It was a good Friday.

I used salad shrimp (small) for this recipe, smaller bites, more bites. I have bigger, but it fits the dish well. I haven’t dived in yet, but soon enough. Myka approves the nibbles. And first TLT sandwich later.

Ran into the owner of the Pioneer at the ice kiosk. He asked why I didn’t make it. I gave the short explanation.

Windows opened before noon. High near 80°F this afternoon. An easy day. Things are going well.
