So last night HR found some highfalutin (Is that how you spell that word?) recipe for fancy (i.e. gay) shrimp cocktail sauce. It involved limoncello, vodka, and my newly discovered, INCREDIBLE recipe for homemade cocktail sauce.
He also used the limoncello for a fancy (see a trend here?) blood orange cocktail.
I’m not sure what he’s doing below, but maybe an inverted version of the downward shrimp? Your guess is as good as mine.
“Sunshiny”
So Robert and I live in beautiful Historic District Savannah …
… about 20 minutes from Tybee Island …
… and the Atlantic Ocean.
Living near the coast is terrific.
But it does get on my nerves a teeny tiny bit that “Coastal” is incorporated into SO many businesses, organizations, etc. here.
My dermatologist is Coastal Dermatology.
My dentist is Coastal Dentistry.
My chiropractor is Coastal Chiropractic
Even my daughter Amy owns a local health care company called COASTAL Care Partners, for goodness sake!
https://www.coastalcarepartners.com
And she has a dog named (of course) Coastal.
Who may or may not be gay.
Collards are probably my favorite winter vegetable. (Delete “probably.”)
Yesterday morning Robert and I went to our incredibly and beautifully diverse Savannah Farmers Market, where I grabbed a bunch of the green delicacy.
I rushed back home to clean them (the collards, not the farmers) and create my favorite part of the collarding experience— making the collard bouquet!
Isn’t she beautiful?!
Next, the chopping into manageable pieces. (Which sounds a bit too much like “Sweeny Todd” to suit my fancy.)
After placing the greens into an already-been-cooking mixture of broth and ham seasoning meat, and impatiently waiting for them to slowly cook …
DELICIOUS JOY!
Wait! Don’t throw those too-thick collard stems away, for goodness sake. Make homemade vegetable stock with them.
A blog category of pics I’ve taken of HR (Hubby Robert) and … well, just about anything.
Robert and … a coffee cup, alongside a little trinket given to him by granddaughter Isabelle.
May your Holiday 2023 be filled with an Abundance of All Things you consider Good.
LOTSA LOVE, NEAL & HR
One more selfie …
(Robert always takes the selfies because I invariably drop the phone.)
Looking through a file recently, Robert came across a CD with a Christmas music video grandson Daniel did as a project with his voice teacher. Daniel was eight at the tine.
Here’s the video:
