Shrimp on the Barbie

Filed under: Food — gardener @ 12:02 pm

With the freezing temps we are having right now- the last thing that a lot of people are thinking about is pulling out their bbq grills and cooking some BBQ, but I will admit- that I’d like nothing more than some grilled potatoes at the moment with a little garlic and butter, plus some grilled shrimp. Marcel is having no part of it- (he doesn’t like shrimp anyway), but he said there’s no way he’s standing out in the cold. I guess I’ll just have to wish that Spring will arrive a little early, or get out there and do it myself. Which is defnitely an idea- but not when it’s 23 degrees.

Gratitude-

We’ve been having some extremely cold temps, but along with it has come some blue skies and sunshine. Up until this week, our winter has been so mild that I can’t complain- but sadly many of the days have included either grey skies, rain or a little of both.

Last night I was out walking with JJ- and even though it was cold and windy- the crispness felt so good. I came inside with really cold hands and fingers, but I felt grateful that I could feel it and that I was healthy enough to get out and enjoy those moments with my little pup.
