Yesterday morning headed out to Safeway early, got there 9am...

Straight to the meat department, asked the butcher guy where the $5 lobster tails were.... "I think we sold out yesterday" was his reply as he headed into the back room to inquire. He came out with two and said they were all that was left! Geeze Louise, guess if they do that sale again I'll get there the first day! Got the lobster, picked up some shrimp (caught in US waters!), some ravioli, meatballs, and came home. Worked on the porch as long as the old back permitted. Washed the covers on Maggie's old dog beds, insides went into dryer to release any hair/dirt/etc, and will take the beds to the shelter for other doggies to enjoy.

 

Wasn't in the mood to cook the lobster so into the rice cooker went some 'sprouted rice & quinoa' along with diced celery and baby carrots and sea salt/pepper/garlic powder...

 

In a frying pan went butter, shrimp sans tails, Simply Asia Seasoning, garlic powder, and chives....

OMGOOOOOOD!!!!

 

Then I watched the Matt Damon movie "We Bought A Zoo". That was fun! I love the animals! And the little girl who played his daughter was sooooooooo cute and charming!!

Lobster Sale ~ Salmon Salad ~ Apple Pie Bites

Good 55º still dark morning. Up too early, actually awake too early and couldn't go back to sleep. Been catching up on reading emails.

I will be out of here early to make a run to Safeway as they have lobster tails on sale for $5 each! Then back home to finish the project I started yesterday... cleaning off the front porch and ditching all the 'spent' flowers/plants, vacuum, wash dog beds, power wash plastic chairs and tables,  and get it ready for the Fall and some porch sitting again. Too hot in the summer!

Dinner last night was salad. Iceberg lettuce, canned salmon, canned sliced mushrooms, chopped green pepper, raw corn off the cob, and cherry tomatoes....

Dressing was mayonnaise, lemon juice, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder

REALLY good!

Hmmmm.....
