Sunday Supper with Friends

Last night we had the Barras and Patrick and Angie Dunphy over to visit and enjoy a meal with us.

 

The little kiddoes.

 

  Yummy S-mores Brownies

Agnes enjoyed a little of the topping  on her own. 

For dinner I served green salad, smothered round steaks w/gravy, rice, corn maque chou, lima beans w/tasso and fresh yummy rosemary dinner rolls.  We also enjoyed a couple of glasses of  Woodbridge Merlot.  (I forgot to take a pic of the main course.)

Good Food Good Friends Good Times

It was a great All Saints Day

 

Friday Night Gumbo

Join Gollum for Foodie Friday.  I did.

    Last Friday night I served Shrimp Okra Gumbo and we had a few friends and family over.  Normand and I invited Katy and David over and Andrew invited Dom, Matt, Ashley, Gary, Angie, and Pat over.  Bon Apetite

Along with the gumbo we had Mushrooms stuffed with shrimp and havarti cheese, Deviled Eggs and Garlic French Bread.

 

 

 

Katy and David brought fruit, brownies and a lovely bottle of  Pinot Noir.

I just love the cork.

Friday Night Supper

After getting home this evening from a little shopping trip to Washington, La. I whipped up a little dinner for my honey and the little kids. 

  For an appetizer we had eggplant dip with bagel chips. 

Next we had a chopped salad, a creamy shrimp and shell pasta, and garlic green beans.  Yummy Yummy Yummy

Andrew was out with friends and cousins and the girls went to the NISH v Comeaux football game with Erica.  NISH won=) go Jackets!

 

Yummy Crabs

Yesterday I got a call from my Daddy.

Daddy "Hey you want some crabs? I've got a couple of dozen. Call Normand and tell him to pick them up on his way home."

Me "Yes!!!!!"

After a few frantic calls to Normand he finally called me back and picked up these yummy crustaceans. They were full and fat and such a wonderful treat.

I'm In Love....... With Eggplant!

If Heaven were a food I think it just might be this dish. Well Jessica and I think so anyway.

For lunch Friday Jessica and I decided to cook up some eggplant from Jacob's garden. We have been having lots of eggplant lately and we're not complaining.

First we sliced, battered, and coated the eggplant with wheat thin and saltine cracker crumbs. Then we very carefully pan fried them in olive oil.

Then we layered them with feta cheese, tomatoes, provolone cheese, sauteed onion rings and topped them with mozzarella cheese and put them under the broiler to brown the cheese. Oh my goodness the results were outstanding. Heaven on a plate and on my palate.

Served with pan grilled salmon topped with sauteed onion rings.

Wish you could have had some.
