Shrimp! I am eating a pound of North Carolina white shrimp boiled in Chesapeake Bay Style seafood seasoning and watching reruns of Big Bang Theory!

The recipe on the McCormick can is easy!

Boiled Shrimp

Wash 1 pound shrimp and place in sauce pan.

Combine 1/4 cup vinegar, 1/4 cup water, 1 tbsp Seafood seasoning and 2 tsp salt. Pour over shrimp and bring to a boil. 

Cover. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes or until shrimp turn pink, stirring once. 

Drain, cool, remove shells and eat.

Yum!

The lighthouse, planning for which began in 1783, was the first one authorized in North Carolina

It’s been a crazy week with the political issues, weather, Judiasim classes, and Gus.

I will not even comment on the political stuff….. we will just wait and see what happens.

The weather has finally cooled and we had a light frost! Our usual first killing frost is around Thanksgiving. Not too far away. The maples are beautiful at this time of year!

The Nandinas are full of berries!

Camilla sasanquas Hana Jiman are blooming.

The Christmas decorations are appearing!

Fresh butternut squash soup is my favorite at this time of the year!

Unfortunately, Gus took a turn for the worst over the weekend and he was euthanized today. No more fighting the cancer. I took him to the coast a few weeks ago for a last visit to the parents and there are some pictures below.

Death in Judaism: death is not a tragedy, even when it occurs early in life or through unfortunate circumstances. Death is a natural process. Our deaths, like our lives, have meaning and are all part of God’s plan.

And the Seafood!

It is the cycle of life!

Goodbye Gus.
