Great Food: Episode 11

Alright, it has been awhile since we have done any GREAT cooking since being gone in Ireland, so now we are back at it.

This week was Shrimp, Tomato and Basil Pasta. Again, another not so creative name, but it was really easy and required no additional ingrediants beyond what was already in our house.


It was pretty good. Really fresh and light (especially since we used homegrown cherry tomatoes!)...but we slightly overcooked the shrimp. And...our pictures suck this week for some reason.


















The real highlight of the night was the dessert we tried: Cantelope with Honey and Lime. LIterally, I would eat this every night if cantelope was fresh year round. For all of you reading this that actually like cantelope (or muskmelon) try this out.

All it requires is for you to thinly slice the Cantelope (we used the cheese slicer side of our grater), and then you zest a lime, squeeze lime juice on top of the melon, and then drizzle it with honey.


It is the most refreshing summer treat you can possibly have I think. Even Nate was obsessed with it!

Looks great! We need smello vision. Nice to hear your tomaters have grown and were not eaten by jungle pests in your yard. My tomaters did not survive being underwater for a month. Guess I should plant the Atlantis varieties next year eh?
