[COLOR=000000]Shrimp Creole: (originally came from some cookbook but I've added some seasonings over the years)

1 bag of shrimp, large or medium-sized, peeled & deveined – I usually use uncooked but I have substituted cooked, just don’t cook it as long.
Cooked rice

1 chopped bell pepper
2 sliced stalks of celery
1 diced onion (or use onion powder to taste)
1 minced clove of garlic (or use garlic powder to taste)
Slap Ya Mama or other Cajun seasoning (I use a couple dashes)
Couple dashes hot sauce
1 bay leaf, crushed
1 tablespoon dried parsley or some fresh minced parsley
1 can tomato sauce + 1 can water or white wine
A couple of drops of Zatarain’s liquid shrimp/crab boil

Saute’ the bell pepper, onion, celery & garlic in a couple tablespoons of butter & olive oil. When it’s soft, add the rest of the seasonings & the tomato sauce & water or wine. Reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes. Rinse the shrimp & add, bring to a boil, reduce back to a simmer for 5 minutes or until shrimp turn pink. Serve over rice. This will serve 2 people with leftovers for lunch the next day. It doubles or triples easily.

A few years ago, I made a huge pot of the base & Jim & his friend Bob froze it & took it out with them to the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta – it’s customary for the balloonists & crews to “tailgate party” after the morning competition & serve up samples of foods from their respective parts of the country. People went crazy for it!

I have an alternative recipe – Crawfish Opelousas that I can post also – I won 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] runnerup in a cooking contest with that one. You can use shrimp in it as well as crawfish. [/COLOR]

Mostly Catahoula. He's a Chocolate leopard. He has lighted up a little. He's a lighter brown with chocolate Leopard spots a chocolate eyes. He's a very sweet boy. He stays glued to me everywhere I go.

My rescue will not leave my side either. Maybe they are so grateful to be with someone that doesn't dump them somewhere. I tell him all the time: this is your forever home. You won't be hungry or thirsty again. You'll never have heart worms again either. You will sleep in my bed and never be too hot or too cold again.
He believes me and adores me.

Look at these bizarro satumas. They are enormous. Last year they were too, but they weren't good. I hope I can eat them this year. Every one of them is crazy big.

I actually didn't think of that. They have been huge since I've been using bunny and chicken poop.

I was going to let Primrose try the coop with the Amercaunas tonight, but she went into the dog kennel. Ate, drank and roosted singing a little sleepy song. This was the kennel she was in for months next to the Black Star coop trying to get them used to each other. It also was her brooder. Maybe she just likes being alone in the kennel where no one pecks her and she doesn't have to share. Poor little Primrose.

True, I had to change my name lol but content of posts I'd share would be different for a younger audience. I wouldn't be "me" - I'd have to behave lol
