use real butter

I whipped up some crabcakes, hashbrowns, and stir-fried zucchini for dinner tonight. Jeremy loves fresh hashbrowns on the skillet and I had some extra yukon golds to finish off.

I got the biggest pomegranate I have ever seen the other night, for Jeremy. He loves pomegranates. These were all behemoths grown by POM, the makers of the pomegranate juice and juice blends. He told me he was fearful that POM might be some evil company (he hasn’t looked into it and I’m too tired to do so now). I told him since it wasn’t labelled organic, it already had one strike against it. Which got me to thinking that there really are very few companies that I feel I can support guilt-free. Then again, I imagine it is like choosing the lesser of two evils (sort of like elections). Tonight, anyway, the pomegranate seeds were bursting with juicy flavor.

I couldn’t wait to get home tonight to see my sweetheart. I get into this mode of keeping busy when he’s away. I don’t feel like eating much either (not such a bad thing). Tonight I picked up our groceries for the week because I felt ill thinking of eating another bowl of brunswick stew. Instead, we used up the remainder of the turkey in bbq turkey pizza!

mozz, bbq sauce, turkey, shrooms, and cilantro (not pictured: feta)

don’t use as much bbq sauce as you would pizza sauce

bellissimo

It’s colder tonight, but it feels warm to me. Everything is better when Jeremy is around :)

Last night I fried up some shrimp chips – those crazy chinese snacks that scream “artifical ingredients” and red dye no. 40. I think I like frying them more than eating them.

dried colorful chips, fry up in hot oil in seconds to a fluffy chip!

happy shrimp chips
