Happy Thursday Guys and Dolls:
One question for you today: “FUKI YAKI SAKE WANT SOME SEAFOOD?” For those who like shrimp today is your day for it is “SHRIMP SCAMPI DAY.” In the good old USA scampi is the menu name for shrimp in Italian-American cuisine. It is shrimp served in garlic butter and dry wine with bread or over macaroni or rice. The best Shrimp Scampi I ever ate was at the old La Gondola in Trenton, NJ. Angelo was the owner and chef, his scampi was served over toasted bread that was cut in triangles with the shrimp placed on top of the bread, the sauce was a red wine color with a taste that I cannot describe. Simply fantastic, you could drink the sauce once all the food was gone. That was my favorite dish there. I’m afraid I will never find another shrimp scampi dish like the one at La Gondola.
Speaking of shrimp one does not realize how stinky your hands can be handling those little creatures of sea after using them for bait all day, but they do catch fish and I’m ready to roll again. Not much happened in history today so the heck with that idea, this could be a short post or maybe I’m looking forward to the weekend and a new month starting Monday.
Time is really flying by, pretty soon the kids here will be starting summer vacation around the first week of June and tourist season will be in full bloom. Buckle up and watch out for triple lane changes, sudden stops, turns with no signals, cars packed with luggage and junk even the driver can’t see out of the rear window and grandpa and grandma doing 25 in a 60mph zone.
Well I think I will say goodbye for today, have a great day and a wonderful evening. Remember tomorrow is FRIDAY.
