Corn and Shrimp

Roasted Shrimp and Fresh Corn with an olive oil, butter, lemon, wine and garlic sauce poured all over the top - fresh parsley never hurts...best part was ... well it was all good but I did love getting all the extra sauce on my toasty bread.  YUM.
I had some figs and decided to roast them as well - drizzled a bit of coconut oil and brown sugar and let them do their thing for about 20 min... really good actually.
we ate with fresh berries and whip cream again.
good night.

what did you have for dinner?

so this may have been a previous post but was reminded by a friend to just do it!
whenever my sisters and I would talk on the phone (especially xenia and I) our first questions were "what did you have for dinner?"  i laugh as I think about it because it is just i guess sort of a funny question to those around me.  but not for us.  I love to hear about meals.  It also gives me good ideas when I am in a rut.
so i am going to do this on my blog - nothing long or drawn out - this blog hardly gets my attention as it is -  maybe pictures, no pictures...who knows - not me.  Part of the fun is recording the many odd and quirky meals we end up eating to the pretty darn good ones. The best meals sometimes come from having very little at all and trying to make something yummy - sometimes not though.
drumrolll...........tonight's dinner - allen was at a meeting and this is what I came up with.
Chicken Salad Melt (mayo, lemon, celery, scallions, salt and pepper) on whole wheat bread/american cheese melty atop.  Strawberries and blackberries and whip cream.
Done!
