Shrimp Cerviche at Chelsea's Kitchen

This was delightful after an 8 mile bicycle ride with friends along the canals. A mixture of jicama, cilantro, lime, lemon, green olives and fresh salsa with the marinated shrimp was refreshing. I downed a glass of water first, then dug into this with the homemade tortilla chips. Nothing like a food destination as the motivation for a bike ride.

We finished 20 miles with another stop at Corbins in Sunnyslope for more club soda and beers.

La Posada Hotel has a Sherried Shrimp with Capers. Recipe is on page 60 of Tastes & Treasures. Great recipe to impress guests as you ignite the sherry. Keep the guests in the kitchen to watch this one.

Sunnyslope High School Band Fundraiser

Non profits always help out other non profits so when the Band supporters called to ask us if we wanted a booth, I said, "Yes". It was a cold day with threat of rain but Kay Holcombe and Sandy Goodheart were bundled up and smiling at 8:45 am on Saturday, Dec 12. Carolyn Mendoza and Mariamne Moore came for the second shift to make it a productive day for the cookbook.

The Queen of Clean gave a talk. Our neighbor had a classic T bird convertible and we all wanted a ride.

Volunteers make these fundraising efforts so rewarding.
