I've always been a huge fan of shrimp. Don't know where it comes from, I think they are just freakin delicious. They are tricky to cook though. I started out buying cooked shrimp and then cooking them with the dish, but they would always end up tough and over cooked.…
The water table folks, that's what we're talking about today. Parents perspective: You leave it outside and it gets dirty. Then it rains and fills up with dirty water and bugs, some dead and some that were born in that dirty water. Germaphobes' worst nightmare. Seriously, stop reading now if…
