What's For Dinner #110 - the Earth, Wind & Fire Edition - September 2024

I believe today was the first day since we arrived that the sun didn’t shine. Wut! We want our money back, Lebowski! :smile:

My dude had yet another interview for a podcast this morning, which unfortunately started at 9am and was impossible to sleep thru :roll_eyes:. I sorely regretted staying up till 3am reading. Oy :woozy_face:

The weather didn’t particularly motivate us to venture much further than the Sprouts market down the road, where we picked up SALAD fixins (gem lettuce, wild red arugula, radishes), and a lobster bisque to add to tonight’s dinner. I made a Cajun shrimp salad with half an avocado, finely diced celery, a homegrown long red pepper that turned out to pack a fiery punch, fresh parsley, a lil crème fraiche, a touch of mayo, a squeeze o’catsup :scream: :upside_down_face:, a squirt of lemon, and Penzey’s Cajun seasoning.

My PIC pronounced it my best rendition of a shrimp salad so far. Noice :smiling_face:

The bisque was fairly rich and — contrary to honkman’s dismissive review of it — had a pronounced lobster flavor & and even some teeny tiny lobster bits :smiley:

All it needed was a lil s&p and a splash of sherry that we’d brought to Philly after all, @Amandarama :sweat_smile:. Leftover salad from last night’s dinner for something greener than the celery & avocado :wink:

A crustacean-heavy meal, like seemingly many other’s tonight.
