Kittens are a riot. I always thought that it was a shame they
turn into cats.

Shrimp in just about any form other than those silly little
things in a can that are only good for mashing into a salad.

Yep, that purring really gets ya. I've been calling
my Lucy Lucy-Purrsalot lately. She really purrs a lot!
It is the most soothing sound there is.

Raindrops on roses? Nah.

Whiskers on kittens? Well, as long as they're not tickling
my face with them in the morning while I'm trying to sleep in
and they was their breakfast.

Bright copper kettles? Nah. Gotta polish them alla time.

Warm woolen mittens? Prefer my rabbit fur-lined leather gloves.

Brown paper packages tied up with strings. Yep, as long as they're
presents for me. ;-)

Cream colored ponies? Nah, rather have a dark brown Morgan.

Crisp apple streudels? This sounds like it could be on my list.

Doorbells? Nope, sales people. Bah humbug.

Sleigh bells? Yep, just hear those sleigh bells jingaling,
ring ting tingaling, too.

Schnitzel with noodles? What's not to like. Just no
mushrooms, please.

Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings? Most definitely.

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes? Maybe.
Depends on the girl.

Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes? And the ones
that blow up my nose. ;-)

Silver white winters that melt into springs? If only there were
such a thing. Nowadays the winters are pretty mush grey slush-
colored winters.

I guess I'm weird because I prefer cats to kittens.
At least when I have to live with one. Kittens are
cute but they can be a pain in the ass. A grown
cat, especially an older one that has developed it's
unique personality I find much more enjoyable being
around. Assuming that it has developed a "pleasant"
personality and is not an evil devil cat. ;-)

<lol> I actually "fry" shrimp in butter and olive oil with a smidgin of
salt free lemon pepper and a pinch of garlic powder. I add lemon juice
afterwards in the "juice" that comes out of the skillet and use that as
a dipping sauce. ;-d

It really is divine......

Adult cats can remain kittens if you stimulate them properly. ;-)
Try a piece of string or a laser pointer. Or a handful of freshly picked
catmint.

Canned shrimp..... Pardon me whilst I gag. <gag>

Even the fresh frozen pre-cooked has it's uses, but there is nothing
like freshly peeled cooked shrimps!

I actually have two favorite ways. Sauteed or Kebabed and grilled over a
mesquite wood fire.

I have no favourite way. I like them so many different ways that
I could eat them every day for a month and they would be
different every night. In the summer I like to marinate them in a
spicy sauce and grill them on the BBQ. I like them fried in
garlic butter. I like them marinated in Sesame oil and salt and
then stir fried with lots of minced garlic and ginger. I like
them in a various other stir fry combinations. I liked them
poached and cold peel an eat with cocktail sauce, or better yet,
some sort of mayo based dipping sauce. I like them bacon wrapped
and grilled. I will even eat them breaded and deep fried, though
that is one of the least appealing ways to do them.

BUBBA

Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is
the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue
it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute
it. There, uh, shrimp kabobs, shrimp
creole...


ANOTHER DAY

Bubba and Forrest shine their boots.

BUBBA

....shrimp gumbo, panfried, deep fried,
stir fried. There's pineapple shrimp,
lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper
shrimp...


ANOTHER DAY

Bubba and Forrest are on their hands and knees as they scrub
the floor with toothbrushes.

BUBBA

....shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp
salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp
burger, shrimp sandwich... that's,
that's about it.

Man I _so_ feel you there! I have an absolute passion for shrimp.
Right now, the big ones are on sale too! I guess they are in season...

I'm going to have to drag out the Tilia and stock up a bit. You have to
double bag them tho' as I've found that shrimp tend to damage Tilia bags
so they don't hold a vacuum.

I agree with that last statement for sure!

Bacon wrapped? I'll have to try that, thanks!
I might add sliced water chestnut just for grins.

I use a lot of the pre-peeled/pre-cooked frozen ones in salads. I just
thaw what I need under hot running sink water.

I've personally found that the larger the shrimp, the more flavor it
has. What do you think of that concept?

I did a shrimp boil the night before last...Shrimp, new potatoes, corn
and whole garlic in Zatarain's crab boil...served with melted butter,
cocktail sauce and a French bread baguette.

My favorite non living thing: Baileys straight.

Have you seen the commercials for the new kinds?

Chocolate mint and caramel?

I just cannot decide how I feel about this.

Does anyone watch Top Chef? This week they had to make a cocktail with
Baileys. Betty managed to **** hers up by adding lime juice.

That sounds wonderful!

Sometimes I'll just steam it and do "peel and eat" with a lemon butter
dip.

Yum!

Ever try Carolans? It's comparable in flavor and texture, and a bit less
expensive.

Godivas is gross. :-P

I'd be tempted to try the mint but would probably give caramel a pass!

Irish mist, sipped slowly, is also excellent but the local chain has

Cats are good, I have no children, pizzas always a plus, but I'd have to say
my favorite thing is to have the hubby come home from work on a Friday
afternoon so that we have the weekend.

OB: Sauteed fish, steamed veggies and baked butternut squash for dinner.
Yum!

Oooh, what a great idea! I wasn't going to do anything special for
Christmas dinner; just typical fish and veggies. Hubby wants to heat up
some ham for himself, but I like your idea of the squash. Maybe I'll have
him try that, too. Thanks!
