It is just a throw together thing....

3/4 pound cooked, peeled and deveined shrimp
1/2 lb fresh small mozzarella balls - these were the marinated in olive oil, and spices.
3-5 large basil leaves
two medium tomatoes

Toss all together, after chopping basil, and seeding and slicing tomatoes. Add enough of the marinade from the mozzarella, to coat (if it is a good one or substitute, olive oil, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and maybe some minced garlic - go light it can overpower)

A liberal shake of kosher salt -
Right before serving, about 1 to 2 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice.

You can let it sit for a while or serve right away ....

Light and fresh- make sure you have some bread to catch the extra spicy olive oil.

thanks for the comments everyone....

THAT shrimp? The one at the 1 o'clock position is my favorite one

Though the shrimp at the 1 o'clock position is an eye catcher... I think I favor the one at the 5 o'clock position. Look at its little tail sticking up there, asking to be picked up and eaten.

That is 3 slices of Kraft american cheese melted to perfection. The mushrooms were fresh and cooked in the pan I fried the hamburger in. After the mushrooms where cooked I added a dash of heavy cream and stirred the mushrooms, pan drippings and cream until the cream thickened it up a bit.

More experiments today

The day before i had bought organic chicory but the stupid grocery store sold it only in sealed big packages. I always hate it when they're doing that. Anyways, what to do with leftover chicory? Finally decided to spread the leaves in a casserole dish and put it in the stove for 5 mins. Then i added fried ready bought cevapcici (my original plan had been to buy ground meat but the butcher had closed already), chili onions and sliced tomatoes on top, plus a few dashes of olive oil. The result was quite nice actually. Doesn't it look like tasting very hot even on the pic? LOL But it wasn't THAT hot

The salad BTW was chicory and carrots in kinda Indian salad dressing which is very easy to make:
Grate a piece of ginger root, add natural yogurt, a few dashes of worcester sauce and lemon juice plus a bit of salt and very little sugar. It's simple as that. Found that on a German salad dressings board. And after the great response it got there i tried it myself. Was well worth it.

Nooo, you're both wrong, it's the one at 17 minutes past three that gets my vote, so juicy looking!

What is wrong with you people? It is just mean to show favoritism. EP, just give me all the shrimp, and don't pay attention to these judgemental folks. I want all my shrimp to feel good about themselves...

...on their way down to my tummy.

Some goodies from the farmer's market: Fresh mozzarella and jersey tomatoes! Rosemary focaccia bread, fresh basil, a little olive oil, sea salt and cracked black pepper.

**SoVerySoft** · 07-29-2007, 12:21 PM

Last week I headed to my friend Linda's to try out my new "Margaritaville Frozen Concoction Maker". Linda wanted to make something with Kahlua so we made "Kahlua-ritas" (Kahlua and cream slushies, basically!)

Here's the machine. See the ice on top? I should have snapped a pic of the shaved ice it makes once you turn it on. But it happens so fast. Below you can see that after the shaved ice is added, it blends the drink perfectly.

Here's the finished product. YUMMMMMMMMM. We made a few.

I tested it to see if it could make a root beer float slushie. I used cream, root beer and the shaved ice. Unfortunately the ice clumped up and it was too watery. But it looks good, doesn't it?

YES! Perfect for a summer day (or night), Randi.

**SoVerySoft** · 07-29-2007, 12:29 PM

After we drank all afternoon, Linda threw some goodies on the BBQ.

I think this hot dog did more than plump when she cooked it!

A naked cheeseburger.

Linda's hubby Bob grows cherry tomatoes. They are killer!

I don't know why I had the urge to photograph the corn...

It just looked so perfect. And you know what? It was the BEST corn I've ever eaten. I stopped at the farm market on my way there to pick it up and it was soooooo delicious! I am spoiled forever now.

My plate.

Dessert - decadent chocolate cake on the left and black forrest cake on the right.

out.of.habit · 07-29-2007, 12:36 PM

OhmigoodnessRandi that is so what I need in my life right now.
I really am drooling. And I just ate cake!

out.of.habit · 07-29-2007, 12:37 PM

Here's the cake! It's not exactly pretty, but it's so good.

Shoulda used a little more preserves, I think. But I was worried it would slide. OH DARN! Guess I'm just gonna have to go make another cake!

supersoup · 07-29-2007, 01:05 PM

I'm a little messy with the frosting, and a little too eager to eat cake, so I didn't have time to wipe the plate, lol.
