Lexi the Sou-Chef!

Today was 2010 Furlough Day #3!  I was glad in the long run because I had a very long night NOT sleeping.  Lexi made sure I was up at a decent hour since she has no problem yelling “Mama! Mama!” We went grocery shopping and she napped.  Eventually I began dinner.  I decided that since I was off I would cook one of Geoff’s favorites.  Its one of those meals that when you do have it, you always say “this is so sinfully good, no wonder we don’t have it often!”.  Of course making homemade bread crumbs, chopping, grating and peeling fresh ingredients are part of it! So this afternoon Lj and I made Garlic shrimp with linguine and toasted French baguettes. 

Lexi helped butter the toast…

The end result was D*E*L*I*C*0*U*S! Served with Lj’s toast and some linguine…. just let me say it’s sinfully delicious! And Lexi really enjoyed herself!  I look forward to many Mommy-daughter dinners!
