I guess if you two are fessing up to what you made for dinner I better also. I don't have any pix either.
I have been very slack this summer in my cooking duties- just never enough time. I decided since Cindy was working until 4:30 today that I would do a shrimp boil (thanks Waldo for the idea a year or so ago). I went down to my brothers farm and dug up about 5 pounds of new red potatoes so about half were nice and small. I picked a dozen ears of yellow and white sweet corn and then a half dozen ears of white. Next I got apound or so of small onions and some baby carrots. I couldn't leave those few hot peppers there, they were lonely in the field (of course there were about 100 bushels of their friends just a lonely). I went back home, checked the freezer and all I had were small pre-cooked frozen shrimp. I had to get on the phone and give Cindy a call - I need an emergency pickup of a pound of fresh shrim and a pound or so of hot sweet Italian Sausage.
I cleaned the veggies and got out the big kettle and filled it with water. It takes a bit to get a 30 quart kettle boiling. It was just getting going good when she got home so I threw all the veggies along with healthy servings of Creole and Cajun Spices along with a half teaspoon of red pepper. She couldn't get a pound of shrimp, so she picked up 2 pounds of 18 count shrimp- Nice. The sausage was fresh made from the butchers in the store, so I chunked that up also.
I ended up cooking the whole shebang and the aromas were wonderful. I put the contents on two large cookie sheets and they were mounded. I asked her what army was going to help us consume it all!? Well in the spirit of things, we ate about half of it! Man was it good.
Thanks Waldo!
