This week has been an exercise in cleaning out the pantry and freezer.
Last night (Thursday) I cooked a fish feast from the freezer. Seasoned french fries from the freezer; fried/baked clams; baked breaded cod filets; and, shrimp cocktail (from pre-cooked, frozen shrimp). Added green beans and corn from the freezer.
My favorite cocktail sauce:
1/2 c. ketchup (Heinz only)
1 tsp. horseradish
1 tsp. sweet pickle relish
1 tsp. fresh squeezed lemon juice
Serve with 1 dozen pre-cooked shrimp sprinkled with fresh lemon juice.
This time I used Meyer lemons that I found at Wal-Mart. Meyer lemons are a little bit sweeter and have a very fine rind...good for zest. Florida and Mexico lemons have a thicker, tougher rind that has a bitter taste in the zest.
Tonight is my favorite menu night. Son-in-law JE is cooking. Menu is baked chicken fillets with Picante sauce; refried beans with cheese and JE's extra yummy guacamole and chips. JE toasts the tortilla chips in the oven with extra salt.
Watching Neil Cavuto talking about the rising prices of Super Bowl party supplies. G-d bless marketing...only marketing could sell the wings of chickens and mesquite wood.
RR...I have to go to your email everytime I want to sign in to this blog. Apparently, I can't find it any other way.
Husband and I went to Sam's today on the way into D.C. Bought paper towels and toilet tissue for "the Studio". Also, finally gave in and bought a Keurig coffee maker. Tested it this afternoon. Very nice and I'm wondering why did I wait so long to get one?
