@journeywithme2 oh yes.
I remember it well and this -
It was august. We were visiting friends at the IOP the first time I had a Bourbon slushie. My friends Dad said to me “honey - have you never had a Bourbon Slushie”. He turns to his wife and says “ well darlin we have to fix that…”. It was 101 and felt like 40 hells with the humidity but then along came his famous slushie”. ???
i am making shrimp and grits this weekend! You have inspired me!
I also buy the wild caught frozen shrimp from Aldi. And their wild caught frozen salmon.
yay its summer and we are cooking it up in the kitchen! ?
@kksali Love it!!!

I did make the shrimp and grits last night for friends here in the Pacific Northwest and I do believe we have converts! It was a big hit. We lived just north of Charleston for 6 years and did our very best to eat shrimp and grits all over town. The Isle of Palms Cajun style recipe has our vote, but to be honest, I liked every version we ever came across. Now I have to add a bourbon slushie to my “must try” list!
@bluebelle @journeywithme @jeannemayell
I must say - i dont think Ive ever had shrimp and grits i didn’t love!
@kksali same girl, same. I was raised on a see food diet... you see food you eat it. TBS ? It was real food, not a lot of processed or fast foods.
And sorry to hijack the thread -- I cede the floor by raising my glass in toast to all of you! CinCin!

@jeanne-mayell I made your pasta frittata tonight using spaghetti noodles leftover from last weekend's spaghetti and meatballs. It was good! The family approves. Thanks!
Hope everyone is having a happy Pride month! You may have seen this story about a family who were out on a lake, with rainbow flags flying from their boat. Another boat pulled along side them and started screaming epithets at them. Then, the gaybashers started circling the rainbow boat, making waves and flipping them off. But Goddess don't like ugly, and that boat exploded! The Pride celebrators plucked those Magats from the sea, and saved their sorry asses. They went high, when others went low. Pretty sure if that had happened to me, instead of throwing a life raft, i would have just tossed Mardi Gras beads, or something. And then cackled, like a maniacal gay witch. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/juliareinstein/boat-explodes-pride-flag-moses-lake-washington
@ana I got it from Mark Bittman of The NY Times Cooking section. He said if you use spaghetti noodles, be sure to let some of them stick up at the top so they get crispy.
