Where In The World Am I Going Now???

I am off again to another wedding this weekend

Our third and final "away" wedding since July

This one is in Florida at "Mar-a-lago"

Yes, that one, the one that is owned by Donald Trump!

The good thing about this is that I get to leave tomorrow

and spend two days with my "BFF"!!

So this is a good thing

I do not know what our plans are but you will

know next week

Michael is not flying down until Saturday

He will meet me at Kathy's house and we will have

lunch with Kathy and Jeff

Then we will drive to our hotel in Palm Beach

(we are not staying at the "Ritz" - we are at the cheapie hotel)

There is a dinner Saturday night

Sunday we will meet some friends for lunch

The wedding is Sunday night at 5:00 PM

Monday morning is a brunch and we fly home in the afternoon

So.... I will be in blog withdrawal beginning tomorrow

I can blog from my i-pad but I just do not think I

will have the time and it is not so easy to add pictures

So I will be mature about it and wait until next week

I am sure you will all be able to wait

until next week to hear about my life

As for today, this was in the mail when I arrived home

these are Ellie's colors she selected for her Chanukah gift

the colors are:  screamin' green, blue bell, purple pizzazz

and robin's egg blue

these are Marlie's colors:

illuminating emerald, inchworm, screamin' green & caribbean green

every pack is so pretty

Now I have to order them for my great-niece Avery

I decided (at the last minute) to (literally) put together

a nice dinner for me and Michael

I had taken out some shrimp (fresh frozen)

and Michael thought I was just going to throw them into a salad

I was not in the mood for a salad and this is what I made

The picture really does it no justice

It is shrimp with feta cheese in tomato sauce over pasta

(with some capers thrown in)

This is how simple it is

Slice up some fresh garlic and saute it in warmed olive oil

Add the shrimp and saute until a little golden

Add a can of crushed tomatoes (the Italian kind)

Start the water boiling for the pasta

(I used the "healthy" kind from Wegman's)

I added some sea salt and two shakes of hot pepper flakes

to the tomato mixture

Simmer over a low flame

When the water is boiling, add the pasta

Now add the diced feta cheese to the tomato mixture and simmer

for about five to ten minutes

When the pasta is done, drain in colander and let sit

Add some capers (optional) to the tomato mixture

Raise the heat a drop and bring to an "almost boil"

Place pasta in a pasta bowl

Pour tomato/shrimp over pasta

Mix and enjoy!!

This is really quick and easy

I hope you like this recipe

As for amounts that is a hard question

I used about 1 lb shrimp

3 lge cloves garlic, sliced

a large can of crushed tomatoes

about 8 oz feta cheese

a 14 oz box pasta

capers, to taste

I think that does it

So I MUST go pack

It is 8:30 PM and I have not done ONE thing

except print my boarding pass and pay for my luggage!

Have a wonderful weekend

I will take LOTS of pictures and you will hear from me

next week

Hugs and More,

Peggy
