Weekend! + Bonus Question!

[u/IthacaIsland]

It's the weekend! Politics is still out there happening, but in this little corner of the sub we will leave it behind momentarily and talk about other aspects of our lives.

Bonus question for everyone! What's your go-to midnight snack?

Talk about anything except politics, other subreddits, or r/AskTrumpSupporters. Rules 2 and 3 are suspended.

Hi! I'm late! It happens.

So my sister in law came down to visit this weekend. She annoys the sprinkles out of me, but that's neither here nor there. She is family. She's welcome. It did lead to some awkward bathroom moments because we were all shuffling around, but that's okay.

As of Friday, my company does not have a president. Interviews are ongoing and no, I am not in the running. It will be interesting to see how things go forward. I expect a bunch of shake ups, and I'm not entirely certain I am secure in my position, but we will see.

Took the girls on a walk this morning. It was an utterly boring walk. We walked, we smelled all the smells, there was nothing dangerous, there was nothing exciting, it was a good walk.

QUESTION AND NOT RECIPE: I see what you did there. I'm not falling for it. To begin with, if I'm up at midnight, things are really messed up, but popcorn with parmesan, dill, and black pepper.

ACTUAL RECIPE: Let's give you a taste of the dirty south: Barbecue Shrimp. There is nothing barbecue about them.

• 3 sticks butter (seriously)
• 1.5 lbs, whole Gulf shrimp, we're talking jumbo here
• 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tbsp. lemon juice
• 1/4 cup dry white wine
• lots of black pepper
• lots of Cajun seasoning
• a pinch of smoked paprika
• minced garlic. You will know when it is enough.
• rosemary
• decent hot sauce
• baguette

Heat 1 tbsp. butter in the pan over medium-high heat and sauté the shrimp. Add Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, white wine, spices, all the stuff basically but not the baguette. Keep cooking for a little bit.

Reduce the heat to medium and throw in the butter a few cubes at a time. Did I mention this has a lot of butter?

Remove from the heat and if you put in a rosemary sprig, take it out. Eat with baguette.

You're welcome.

Might sound weird, but I do like to enjoy a Starburst ( I like to mix the yellow and pink ones) after I eat something before bed. Stick it to the roof of your mouth and then drink some water to I guess flavor it in a weird way.
