someone recently talked about taking the time to enjoy eating, whether it is a snack, a meal, a treat…

tonight I had shrimp with cocktail sauce for my dinner…

while I was eating, I was remembering…

many years ago I flew to Florida with a dear family friend on vacation… I was there in case she had any problems with her health… we had a wonderful time and I enjoyed every minute with her…

one of the things you could do there was order cooked shrimp while shopping at the grocery store… while you shopped they were boiled and bagged for you to take home fresh… many evenings we peeled these delicious cold shrimp for our dinner as we discussed our day and life in general…

the other special memory was when we were in Hawaii last year and went to Shrimp Hale… it was a little restaurant in a strip mall just a short walk from where we were staying that we just happened upon…

the shrimp were boiled, butter, garlic and fresh lemon were added, and it was brought hot to the table in a plastic bag… we were given plastic bibs and gloves… the shells just went onto the paper on the table… it was such fun and so delicious…

such wonderful and special moments and memories… how blessed I am…

made my dinner taste even better…

picked up the cutest bowl a few days ago to use at work…

it will replace one that I had previously, but which got chipped…

today I took it to the office and had a salad in it… I think it is going to be the perfect size…

we’ve talked about how coffee or tea always tastes best from a particular mug or cup… I have a little pottery cup for water and a special mug that I have for my tea…

silly, but true, things do taste better out of certain containers…

productive day…

picked up some purple cauliflower yesterday on the way home… 

  

so today I made soup… it actually came out purple…

  
pretty, but it doesn’t taste that great… think I might need to add spice of some kind to perk it up…

tonight I went to #LoveLocalMB… had the opportunity to chat with many of the food producers in a large room crammed full of people who feed Manitobans…

  
bought a number of items as it was a great way to support the people who make our food…

was most excited to get bessie’s best tzatziki… I fell in love with it last summer at the Downtown Thursday Farmers Market… it hasn’t been available since then and I really enjoy it… what a treat… 

going to have some yummy things to eat over the next while…
