Lunch 2023 (!)

[Nannybakes]

Yes, the fennel is more pleasing than celery. I also had some finishing salts that I added just prior to serving.

Grilled rock shrimp and a mahi Reuben. Kind of a spring break tradition now

[Nannybakes]

Delicious looking!

[linguafood (Natascha)]

I dream of those shrimp all year long. They’re a bit of a PITA to release from their shells (and a bit alien looking), but the flavor is like nothing else. Just lemon & drawn butter is all you need

[Nannybakes]

I agree, they are wonderful! But shelling…not so much😂

That salad is gorgeous!

[Nannybakes]

They are so good at this time of the year, we have been enjoying them frequently.

[ipsedixit]

I love that you have that as your dining companion!

[retrospek]

That salad looks stunning - beautiful photos! (We made ham & cheese sandwiches with potato chips - not photogenic).

[Nannybakes]

Thanks so much! I like to squeeze half an orange over the fruit, sometimes some Meyer lemon. It’s also good with a single citrus, either way, it’s light and refreshing!

[Meekah]

I’ve got one. Shhhhhh.

[Phoenikia]

His name is Ari.
