LUCKY MAN

My wife, as regular readers know, is a master of cuisine.

French, Italian, Chinese . . whatever the flavors . . she can do it.

Without looking at a recipe, as I do slavishly.

It's all in her head.

So, without further ado, let me show you what she created in our kitchen today.


Shrimp in a garlic lemon sauce.

I asked her what gave it the orange appearance.

Smoked paprika, she said.

Just to give you a better look, before I devoured it . .


You must trust me.

The "bubble pasta" (Israeli couscous); the salad of lettuce, tomato, cucumber, avocado in Italian dressing; the Sea Salt breadsticks, the Pinot Noir wine . . . are your mouths watering yet?

It was devastatingly delicious.

As I said above, I'm a lucky man.

  7. Oh. My. What a feast! Shr certainly knows her stuff. I am just a country cook, no clue how to prepare a meal like that!
    Shrimp and shellfish are a no-no here, as Larry is allergic. So sad. I dont eat it either because it wouldn't be fair. He used to love it until this allergy showed up about 20 years ago.
