Picaresque: Shrimp on the Barbie- Andre and Nicole Redux

About Me

Location: Arapahoe, Wyoming, United States

(Note: Blogs read from bottom to top; scroll down for beginnings, scroll up for most current.) After 30 years in public administration and four degrees, as well as numerous workshops with luminaries in Education and Public Policy, life in a slower lane became a goal. Most recently I have done policy writing and consulting for the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone Tribes. Mostly, I am just coasting slowly and gently downhill these days-seeking joy where I can find it before the glorious ride ends.

Shrimp on the Barbie- Andre and Nicole Redux

Nicole and Andre invited me for a waterfront supper on this Good Friday. Oh my, the food was good, the mood festive and they are good company. Shish-ka bobs of two kinds in Nicole's marinades, rice, green salad, Parmesan bread, wine, apple salad ( new recipe: sliced apples, and raisins, with plain yogurt and lemon juice for dressing -quite tasty and healthful). I provided the dessert: Hoffman's fresh strawberries dipped in chocolate and Tia Maria liqueur for the coffee. I got lost riding my bike home in the dark.

Andre plays sommelier with dish towel. He is a pistol-likely to break into song or dance at any time.

Above a feast. Below our greeting to our departed companions. They will likely be surprised because they think Andre and Nicole are well on their way to Quebec by now. They did not like Port St Lucie so they came back and will leave Sunday for a park near St. Augustine-then a couple of days into Canada. I am glad they came back. We have a good time and below: they are enthusiastic participants in a bit of nonsense if it will result in a fun picture. Watch for dog pictures with bunny ears in a future blog entry.
