lemon butter shrimp with angel hair Scott arrived home last nite...we met at B.J.'s for a drink and late nite snack...then home to sleep soundly and up for a day together!  A visit to mom & dad's...dad's buzzed hair and disappearing eyebrows, which mom hates..."don't talk to me right now!"...and mom recreating an infamous "flashing" moment with Scott...all to our amusement (how do you spell that word?)...then off to PTF (Plano Tortilla Factory) for Migas...then Costco for supplies & upgraded bedding...and off to meet Dad & Ee at the spa so the could work on my shelving etc....then the rest of the day with my Scottie (which he prefers I don't call him, but I can't help it)...noted the historic win for Spain in the World Cup...off to the store to purchase ingredients for lemon butter (& caper) shrimp...beer for the pool.  Earl Campbell sausage was added to the mix...and off to the pool to toss the little football and fight off t...

dinner 11/15/08 Tyler's Ultimate on food network is one of our fav shows....scott loves scallops and puff pastry...he's always trying to figure out how to encase yummy morsels inside the puffy, buttery flakes. when i saw this episode i knew it was for him... see http://www.foodtv.com/ for the recipe. we used already shaped puffs we had in the freezer...but i would not cut them in circles like he does in the show...just cut it into four squares! why waste any of the yummy pastry, cause to me its the best part! these are really rich, so a green salad with a sharp balsamic dressing would be a great accompaniment. sauteed peas and carrots sauteed onion and mushroom buerre blanc...a.k.a. winey, buttery goodness we had been trying to eat "healthy" all week and this was our splurge meal on the weekend...just don't drink too much before and numb your taste buds...they will want to be present for this meal. i also made choc cupcakes with cream cheese frosting...see scott...
