Had a shrimp cocktail appetizer last night and salmon with salad for dinner. Forgot to take photo of dinner.
We have a little fresh seas food shop in town. Guy works himself to death. He will cook it for you to go or you can buy fresh. He just opened back up this week. Always gives the customer great service. I went to pick up fish for tacos. Said I didn’t know what fish would be vest. He gave me flounder. Won’t make fish tacos without flounder again. Makes great gumbo. Give him a hard time about a Vietnamese guy making the best Cajun gumbo around.My local fish guy gave me 2 doz oyster and scallop shells for nothing, I just had to ask and wait a week or so.

Our fishmonger yesterday, selling scallop shells at 25p each. Unfortunately, he'd sold out of scallops, which is what we went for.
Had the usual fried egg, sausage links, fried potatoes, and toast this morning.
MrsTasty's stomach has been off for the past few days, so this is how this morning's conversation went:
"I know your stomach is off. Anything sound good for breakfast?"
<some thought>
"You know what sounds good? An egg."
"Ok. Soft-boiled? Poached?" <that's me thinking of stomach-friendly egg preps>
"No...fried."
"Fried? Ok..."
"And toast."
"Ok. If I'm making fried eggs, then I'm going to make a sausage for me."
"You're making sausage? Well, then, I'll have a sausage."
"So you want a fried egg and sausage...on your stomach?"
"They're small, I'll just have the one."
<gets out four small sausages>
"Oh, yeah, there's just a small dab of frozen hash browns left, I'll have those for me, just to get rid of the them."
"You're not going to make any for me?"
"It's just a handful. I just want to get rid of them."
"If you're having potatoes, I should get potatoes, too!"
So the single serving of frozen potatoes is still in the freezer, because I had to make enough fried potatoes for both of us...and she took two sausages!
Do you remember the tagline from the old Lay's potato chip commercials? "Betcha can't eat just one!"If there was only enough for one serving and you just wanted to get rid of them, why didn't you just cook them for her and take just a bite? Just sayin'.
Poor MrsTasty, my ass! She got fried potatoes and an extra sausage!Poor Mrs. Tasty
No, not at all. The only time she's in the kitchen is to ask, "What is this strange, mysterious room I've wandered into?Does she cook as well?
