The Daily Eat: Coconut Shrimp.


Shrimp is a very summery food to me. It’s both light and easy to make, given the right recipe. I hope you enjoy Shrimp Week!

The first time I had coconut shrimp was during my 21st birthday dinner with my parents. We were at a fairly upscale restaurant and they were skewered as a appetizer. And I proceeded to let one fly across the table as I tried to dislodge it from the skewer. In front of everyone. Awesome. Can’t wait to try out these Coconut Shrimp with Apricot Sweet Chili Dipping Sauce – sans skewers!

Falksalt.

The Falksalt site is in Swedish a forgeign language (German perhaps?), so all I can really discern is how pretty the packaging is and that it’s most likely delicious. Both of which are quite enough for me.

Happy Weekend.

Hello, Mr. Sunshine. It’s so good to see you after three weeks of rain and my yard flooding! There’s a little more to com this weekend, but I have big plans to take advantage of any dry time that does decides to show up.

This Weekend:
• spend an obscene amount of money at Lowe’s (garage shelving, touch-up paint, etc.)
• hunt down some reasonably-priced patio furniture
• dig up flower bed near front door
• bake a coconut cake for my mom’s birthday
• watch the Preakness Stakes and maybe whip up a batch of these

Reminder:
You have until Monday, May 18th at noon CST to enter the Linda & Harriett contest!

Happy Weekend!
