Shrimp again? Yeah, I know we just had Tex-Mex Diablo a couple of weeks ago, and Louisiana Shrimp a couple of weeks before that. What can I say? Our local market has been promoting shrimp, and when the price is right, we buy.

Land of the Midnight Sun
North to Alaska, go north, the rush is on. Way up north. Not only is Alaska the largest state, it is home to the highest mountain peaks in the country. Alaska was dubbed the Last Frontier. In many ways, it still is. Long before the Russians and European explorers found their way to the Arctic land, Alaska was home to indigenous people. Their ancestors continue to carve out a life in the frozen yet beautiful Land of the Midnight Sun.

Diablo – Devil in Spanish. Another word for Hot Stuff when it comes to food. Chicken Diablo, Scallops Diablo and Hubby’s all-time favorite Shrimp Diablo. It’s that dash of Habanero Pepper Sauce that brings on the heat.

I grew up eating Cornmeal Coated Fried Catfish. It was the only fish I knew that didn’t come from a can such as tuna or salmon. It wasn’t until the Fast-Food Chain, Long John Silver, opened in our neck of the woods when I was in high school that I had even tried battered fish.

While I’ve never been to Louisiana, I do love the food. Maybe it comes from my southern roots via Pops. Maybe it is that love of spice and flavor and anything down home. All I know is that while I’ve never been to Louisiana, I feel deeply connected to the Gulf region.

When we hear “Florentine”, our thoughts immediately gravitate to spinach and Italy. Interestingly enough, the phrase a la Florentine was actually coined by the French. While we might not fully know why Florence is so often associated with spinach, some believe the style of dish was named for the birthplace of Catherine de Medicis; who introduced Spinach into Callic cuisine with her marriage to France’s Prince Henry in 1533.
Seafood Lasagna
Another beautiful Friday in Paradise. Or at least as close to paradise as we can get. Hubby is here. Kiddo is here. My family; scattered round the world are healthy as far as this pandemic is concerned. We did have one loss. My cousin’s wife passed in early April; a stroke. Amanda was in her late forties; young for a stroke. Within my Filipino-Spanish side of the family, a cousin is no different than a sibling. Aunts and Uncles are second parents. Kiddo refers to my aunts (his great-aunts) as Lola; grandmother. So any loss, no matter the blood-line distance; is felt deeply. Michael is a man of faith; and the Lord has continued to comfort him.
Green Chili Four Cheese Enchiladas
Happy Friday! For some of us, that means something – like the end of another grueling work-week. For others, Friday is just another in a long line of endless days. In our house, it means a meatless meal.
Welcome to My Easter Table
While my table is set, we won’t be hosting a gathering in our home this Easter. Like the rest of the world, we are together in spirit if not in the flesh. Perhaps next year.

When I saw this adorable Brownie creations from the Betty Crocker Kitchens, I knew I had to share. It was just too cute. And it reminded me of my childhood. Just a little something to think about for tomorrow.
Holy Saturday’s Easter Vigil
As a Christian, today is a day of sorrow and of joy. Joy in the belief that Christ is the Risen Lord. Sorry for having caused Him pain and suffering. The reason that Catholic Churches have the Crucifix displayed above the alter rather than an empty cross is to remind us of the price of sin.

In addition to Good Friday, this is also my Mother’s birthday. She is with the Lord. I wish I could bring her flowers, but I’m not sure what the restrictions might be as far as unnecessary travel.
Good Friday’s Humble Vegetable Soup
Traditionally speaking, Good Friday for Catholics is a day of fasting and prayer. Once upon a time, fasting meant just that – to fast, to go without food or drink. Over time, the rules governing fasting have changed, mainly for heath reasons. Now fasting is defined as one reduced meal, with two smaller meals that together do no make up a meal. This modified form of fasting is a requirement for all Catholics beginning on their 18th birthday, ending on their 59th year.

Holy Thursday Roasted Supper
One of the traditions in our house is to have some sort of roasted meat on Holy Thursday. We aren’t lamb eaters; although I do love Lamb Gyros. Kiddo has to be in the mood for a Lamb Gyro, and Hubby says no way. He’s not really keen on strong flavors.
