This Weekend.

First of all.. Food Network.. I hate you. Ok not really, i love you. I was watching the Barefoot Contessa today and watched this! OMG this weekend i plan to make this. The way she made it look so easy. Every since i watched Julie & Julia i just want to cook. I also was watching about steak. I want to make this tonight but will just have to wait. I will let you know how it taste!




For the shrimp:

  • 2 pounds (12 to 15-count) shrimp
  • 1 tablespoon good olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

For the sauce:

  • 1/2 cup chili sauce (recommended: Heinz)
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 3 tablespoons prepared horseradish

Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails on. Place them on a sheet pan with the olive oil, salt, and pepper and spread them in 1 layer. Roast for 8 to10 minutes, just until pink and firm and cooked through. Set aside to cool.

For the sauce, combine the chili sauce, ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Serve as a dip with the shrimp.

Do Firemen and children mix?

Well boys and girls. It's that time of year. Where i take my class to the Fire station where we get to meet, talk, learn, and enjoy some of the great firemen of Portland. We were greeted by Fireman John,(pictured below in fire gear) He told us all bout what fire can do, and how not to play with fire. He walked us through the fire truck, put on and off his gear, gave the children fire hats, and took a class picture with us. Also the daddy of firemen was there to give me a spanking...(notice both firmen poses ... looks like someone was a calendar model..guess which one) Overall the fire station is my favorite fieldtrip of all! Feel free to oogoogle the firemen!

Fall....


Leaves

How silently they tumble down
And come to rest upon the ground
To lay a carpet, rich and rare,
Beneath the trees without a care,
Content to sleep, their work well done,
Colors gleaming in the sun.

At other times, they wildly fly
Until they nearly reach the sky.
Twisting, turning through the air
Till all the trees stand stark and bare.
Exhausted, drop to earth below
To wait, like children, for the snow.
