Loved the sauce for this dish (based on Emeril’s recipe). The shrimp I bought from the store, however, were not very good, bringing down the meal a bit. I ate the leftovers sans shrimp.

Scallops Piccata
Oh, I love scallops. Even if I paid like $16 for 12 oz. worth at Whole Foods. What the hell.
Anyway, I decided to try out a Cooking Light recipe on these ones. Two notes. 1) This was a little caper-tastic (given, I’m not a huge capers person). I’d probably halve the amount next time around. [...]

Alton’s Gumbo
Gumbo – talk about satisfying. This recipe, I will say, takes forver, but it’s really not all that labor intensive if you think about it.

My refrigerator is turning into the place where produce goes to die.
Ive been at John’s most of the time lately, so I returned tonight to cook to find basically all of my fresh produce rotting. Ew.

Shrimp with beans and tomatillos
Well, I achieved one of my summer food goals…cooking with tomatillos. I’m not sure I’ve ever even tasted tomatillos before this. They were more citrusy than I expected. I will say, though, despite the flavors not being what I was going for, I thought this recipe ultimately worked pretty well.
