yesterday, today, and tomorrow (and the day before yesterday)

First of all, I want to say that I am having a great weekend!! I will have a post about that tomorrow (or maybe Monday). Tonight I am going to do a batch of 30 Day Blog Journals that I need to catch up on...

Day 19 - a talent of yours

I think I have put this post off for so long because I can't think of a talent!! Isn't that sad? I really can't think of anything I am talented at. I will keep thinking and let you know if I think of something

 

Day 20 - a hobby of yours

• Reading - Give me a good book and I can be occupied for hours!! I love it! It is so relaxing!

• Scrapbooking - I haven't done much of this lately. But I still love to do it.

• Blogging - I love going back and reading all my old blogs. I laugh because the things I thought were huge back then, I never even think of now. I know some day I'll look back at this blog and think, "Why was I so worried about ____________?"

Day 21 - a recipe

Since we made several of these this summer, I decided to put the recipe for a shrimp boil on here. It is so easy and good!! And it is a quick and easy clean up too!! We boiled it all in one pot and when it was done dumped it out on a table/counter/island covered with tin foil. When everyone had eaten we crumpled up the tin foil and threw it in the garbage!! Easy!!

Ingredients

4 quarts water (16 cups)

1 can (12 ounces) beer (optional)

1/2 cup OLD BAY® Seasoning

2 tablespoons salt

8 medium red potatoes, quartered

2 large onions, cut into wedges

2 pounds lean smoked sausage, cut into 2-inch pieces

8 ears fresh corn, shucked and halved crosswise

4 pounds unpeeled jumbo shrimp (21 to 25 count)

Directions

Bring water, beer, OLD BAY Seasoning and salt to boil in 12-quart stockpot on high heat. Add potatoes and onions. Cook 8 minutes. Add smoked sausage. Cook 5 minutes. Add corn. Cook 7 minutes.

Stir in shrimp. Cook 4 minutes or just until shrimp turn pink.

Drain cooking liquid. Pour contents of pot into large serving bowl or platter. Or, mound on paper-covered table. Sprinkle with additional OLD BAY Seasoning, if desired.

Day 22 - a website

Dinner Made Easy - full of good recipes! I don't have time or energy to cook elaborate meals during the week. This website has some great recipes that are very easy to do any night of the week!
