I'm Stuffed!

My stomach is so full right now!  I just finished  cooking and eating the Pioneer Woman's shrimp scampi.  It was delicious and very quick and easy too.  Most importantly, it was given 5 stars by the younger residents at Love and Life at Leadora, so this recipe is a real keeper.

And, I must say, it was a million times better than one of these...



Yes, my Welsh terrier is insisting that we have one of these for dinner.  In fact, for the past two nights, she has brought one to the backdoor.  Yuck!  Tonight, she will be going out on a leash!!  No possum stew or soup for us...and, yes, there really are recipes for cooking possums!

  1. The scampi looks delish! One of my favorite dishes. Now, possum stew leaves a little to be desired. Can't say I'll be trying it anytime soon. Good luck this week! UGH!

  2. Hi Heather! Your dinner looks divine! What a great photo too! Who would have thought that shrimp could look so elegant! :) The possum though is not so sweet! Ugh! :) I hope your Easter was extra lovely!
    Best Wishes and Blessings,

  5. OmG, poor little cuties... who could think up recipes boiling up a sweet little possum? I mean, fair dues to your terrier, it's a terriers' job, I suppose. But hoominz? Oh the depravity!

  7. I love PW's cookbook. I don't think I've ever cooked something from there that I didn't like. Our dog got a baby opossum once and we thought she had killed it, but it was just playing opossum!

  10. Just curious, is the Opossum dead or playing dead when your little dog brings it home? :)

    Thanks for your kind words about all the storms here. My state of Tennessee was hit hard, but Alabama, by far, was hit the hardest. Those poor folks there are just devastated, as are people everywhere you personally suffered some type of loss. Thankfully, my family is all safe and we had no damage. A lot of wind, rain, lightning and thunder, but no damage.
