Mom suggested that we celebrate my upcoming birthday a bit early, since Texas and Alaska aren't exactly next door.
I requested tequila drinks and big 'ole gulf shrimp (Alaska shrimp are so much smaller and lack the texture/flavor of the real deal). It was a great meal.
Ina Garten's Italian Panzanella Salad
Panzanella is basically just a bread salad. I've never actually made one before, but I'd imagine the quality of the bread is super important because it's the star ingredient. So, go for the freshest stuff you can find!
Grill Master Ross
This shrimp recipe is from Chef Bryan Caswell, of Reef in Houston. Honestly, it's one of the best shrimp recipes I've ever had. You coat the shrimp in a curry, chile, cayenne dry rub, then baste with a lemon butter while on the grill, and serve with a sriracha remoulade dipping sauce. Definitely worth the effort--- delicious!!!
One of my all time favorites-- Boston Creme Pie.
Multiple layers of vanilla cake, creamy vanilla custard, and a decadent semi-sweet chocolate glaze... Yes! I'll take 2 pieces please...
Mom gave me a couple of Grammie's vintage fur coats. Huge surprise and they're just beautiful. I can't wait to wear 'em!
Who knows?
A new (totally cute) wallet!
Great Birthday Numero Uno!!
