Let them eat Shrimp

Isn't life just like a recipe that you're making on the fly?

Like todays Shrimp salad:

6 large cooked shrimp chopped into midsize pieces, tails removed
One handful of spinach, washed chopped upA small amount of raisins -- like a 1/4 cup
An even smaller amount of chopped walnutssome chopped up sweet ripe tomatoe
2tbls Mayo
lots of Salt & Pepper
Mix it all together and serve open face on some good grainy toast (gluten free for me)

Every morsel, bite of this has something tasty in it. It's pretty to look at, it's very nice for company, but it's easy to make and eat alone. Which is what I'm doing. Except for the mayo, it's very lo-cal. It's gluten-free.

If I was going to have a dessert with it, I'd serve some my special yogurt/whipped cream dessert:

One cup Stoneyfield Caramel lowfat yogurt
1 dollup cup Stonefield Whole Milk French Vanilla yogurt
2 Tbls (squirts) Organic Whipped cream in a can
Blackberries

First put the Caramel yogurt in a nice bowl or wine class. Dollup the vanilla yogurt in the middle. Squirt the whipped cream in the center, and sprinkle the blackberries around the whipped cream.

Magnificent.

Lo-cal. Today I was watching the great documentary on the NYDolls...chronicling the demise and comeback of the band. So great where they've been and where they've come back to. But as I was dancing at the end, rocknrolling I got a glimpse of my old self...you cannot be fat and be a rockchick.

Amen.
