The McP's

I'z married now..I'z married now!!, from the voice of Sophia in "The Color Purple" If you havent watched that movie lately, one of my all time faves that I could watch 6 times a year, go watch it now.

After more than 8 years, we decided to make it official, I am glad. It's been probably 5 years of whether, on a day off together during the week to "go get the marriage liscense or go to Lee Lees or Costco" The grocery stores always won. I kid you not. We love a good grocery store.

McP is taking this marriage thing very serious, the day after our very nice and sweet nuptials, he told me that he thought he best be more responsible, as he drove slower that day, and turned the crooked corner to our street a little less reckless. Thats what it took? marriage? Good gravy Davy...



Love, the McP's

Damn Dumplings

I have made these same Sichuan shrimp and pork dumplings for the last 4 out of 5 Saturdays for McP. He goes through these food kicks where he will eat the same thing for 1-2 weeks everyday. Now since I make these, and he figures he'll never be able to do it the same, and they are time consumsing, he only begs for them on Saturdays. I suppose these are better for him then, say his fried Spam and Velveeta on Grandma Sycamore's white bread, the whitest doughy thick white bread in the world, its so thick and doughy that if you put peanut butter on it, you would choke to death. Or the beans and weenies, or cheese steaks, well I gotta give that to him, hes from Philly and can make one like no-ones business. The man just loves to eat.

So with the extra shrimp, I made some of these yummy wonderful shrimp toasts, except now McP discovered he loves these too, CRAP!
