Geez, I’ve been moving around nonstop since I got home -unpacking, organizing,unpacking, cleaning,unpacking, helping with dinner, cleaning,unpacking! My tiredness went away mid-afternoon but I have a feeling its about to catch up with me.
I paused for a snack around 4:30 -Fage(~1/2 c),cantaloupe(~1/2 c) and leftoverhomemade granola(2-3 tbsp) -
Andrew and Karen joined us for a dinner ofscallops + shrimp stir-fry.
In one pan we seared8 jumbo scallopsand about12 shrimpin a blend ofcanola oilandSmart Balance.
In another pan, we sauteedbell peppers, mushrooms, sugar snap peasand ajalapenoin a bit more canola oil. Once the veggies were getting tender, we added the following:
- Tamari (1 tbsp?)
- Rice wine vinegar (1 tbsp?)
- 1/2 tsp ground mustard
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- Garlic clove, pressed
Lastly, we splashed onlemonandorangejuice to finish them (and used the same combo to de-glaze the seafood pan and get up all the brown bits!). We tossed the shrimp + veggies together and kept the scallops on the side. Along with a piece ofsourdough-
In addition to flowers and clean house, I came home to find a HUGEhomemade chocolate zucchini cake(with a bourbon glaze!) in the fridge that the husband and Karen had made while I was gone.
There were so many complex flavors - zucchini, bourbon, cinnamon, and of course chocolate. The buttercream icing was fabulous!
I requested asmall sliversince I had a lot of sweets on my trip (that’s a4" appetizer plateand atiny appetizer forkfor perspective!)
But it was good. So I had another sliver. Just call it a total of one small piece
Off to beddddddddddd……….zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
