I agree to that and I didn't even taste it. Sherry, the reg kind I cook with all the time, love it. Sounds, yummy Shadows.

I just re-read my post, I must have been typing with my thumbs! Look at all the mis-spellings!

It was yummy and simple too!

Half the time I don't have my glasses ... I shudder to think what I have typed, lol.

Well, dinner already changed. The last 3 weeks, I guess I should just no better. CRAZY

My friends dd is sick, so NO matinee; but, Grandma is watching the kids.
So, my friend stopped over and we had, the remaining smoked fish; and some cheese and crackers. I had some good WI cheese, and my pub cheese, WI salami too - the good stuff. We also indulged in a bloody mary (just 1).

She is back checking on the kids, but back later with dinner. Lobster tails from the freezer and dessert.

OK, first - if you live in FL and dive; most people take place in lobster season and stone crab season. Besides, he is a commercial fisherman and runs a charter business too. So that is a staple in their house.

We will just grill it, a little lemon butter; and fresh fruit. I'm sure a bottle of wine will be involved, and she is bringing dessert too.

I had to post a update on my new restaurant find.

One of the ladies gave me a gift card to the place; and I went last night (Fri). It was a great little find. A very low key, simple place ... more of a bar; but offered some great food. NO big dinners; but, they did have burgers, some sandwiches, soup, chowders, a few salad; but mostly bar bites.

I had blackened grouper bites with a spicy sauce; Asian beef bites, wrapped in bok choy and then a tempura batter and fried, served a dipping sauce. Finally a shrimp, crab, and conch ceviche, with homemade herb crackers and bread.

Absolutely delicious. 2/1 cocktails, had mojitos; and the meal was delicious. Small portions, but the price was decent. 7,95-9.95. But really quality food.

For instance, the grouper bites were served on a bed of greens and a few fresh orange segments (almost made it a salad). The same with the steak; some fresh julienned carrots, zucchini, and snow peas I think. Not much of a salad; but enough to satisfy one.

Definitely a place to go back; I love places like that. Out of the way, not a tourist spot; good food, and very casual.

Sounds like a great find, Kc I love places like that...sounds leisurely, kinda intimate, and with great food..... and in this case, FREE

Tonight, I'm doing a simple bacon, avocado, tomato and swiss frittata...one of my faves I'll also have a big helping of one of the sweetest cantaloupes I've had in years. Summer foods are almost here!!!!

I got some honeydew like that Deepster ... OMG, it is like breakfast, lunch, and dinner, lol.

Your frittata sounds great. Any time I can find local places like that, I really love them.

We are having lasagna. Something just made me crave it. ;)

Kc, you are so right!! A good melon can transcend well beyond the basic meal elements, for ANY meal I'm not sure how I went about picking this one melon out of an entire bin. Perhaps they were all good, but this one seemed to scream at me.

The whole meal was delicious. I love frittatas any time of day. They are simple, versatile and YUMMY! I probably do at least 3 frittata meals a week.....any time of day

Deepster, I love them too. I like them way more than quiche.
