Pistachio Ice Cream...how I love thee...


I had something soooo delicious tonight, pistachio ice cream! It was perfect! Creamy, smooth, not outrageously flavored, just simple delightful pistachio in a waffle cone. Where did I have it, you ask...why HERE, says I.

It is their flavor of the week. But I would bet next weeks flavor will be good too!

Spicy Shrimp and Coffee Haus Cous Cous






Spicy Orange Shrimp:
24-30 Large Shrimp, de-everythinged.

Make the "sauce" ahead of time:
3/4 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon garlic
1/2 tsp Chili Powder
1 tsp seasoning salt

Melt 2 TableSpoons of butter in a pan, add the shrimp and brown on both sides on high heat ( about 1 min per side). Remove from pan.
Throw the sauce in the pan and heat it till it thickens, add one more tablespoon of butter, then throw the shrimp back in the pan and "tada!" you have some pretty tasty seafood!

Coffee Haus Cous Cous

Follow directions on box/bag of cous cous for basic preparation, BUT add a chicken boulion cube to the mix, plus 1/4 cup dried soup veggies ( carrots, parsley, peppers, tomatoes...).This is super yummy!
