Mr. Pup has been unemployed since February, so for tonight we splurged on shrimp and fresh fruit. I'm making coconut shrimp (fried in coconut oil), jasmine rice and a fruit salsa of mango, blueberry, apple, kiwi, green onion, tomato, tangelo, lime and jalapeno pepper. My friend and neighbor gave us a bottle of Proseco. The weather is hot and nasty, we'll stay in, keep cool, and be fine!

Wow, what a terrific menu! Congratulations on 37 years together!

Happy to see you again, yellerpup. Sorry to hear about unemployment; I'm surprised because it seemed when I heard what his job was that it sounded like one of those where you're never out of work. Wrong again here.

Anyway, I know you two will enjoy yourself and my brother and I will toast to you this evening (he with his tea and I with my Mike's lemonade).

Lemonade sounds like a good choice for the day! (Especially if it's Mikes) We didn't think it would run out either, but summer is traditionally a slow season. He was doing fine freelancing until July and then everything stopped. He's only been on unemployment for a few weeks; we are hoping September will bring fresh business. Thanks so much for your good wishes. Since the use of my hands is very limited now, I don't cook much but I coach Mr. Pup through and it's become fun for us.

dinner sounds awesome.

This is one of our favorite simple menus. We appreciate your good wishes!

Your dinner sounds marvelous!
Enjoy tonight with your husband, and I wish you 37+ years more.

We will enjoy. Thanks for your good wishes.

Bought it once in the grocery store, but ran out. When I went back, it was no longer stocked. Over a period of time, I checked all the food stores around me, but to no avail.

Found some on Amazon, though, and ordered two cases of six each. Isn't it just the best for summer tea!?

I often blend the two when making my iced tea- 2 chai spice and 4 green tea a pitcher. That's pretty much my favorite.

tea is lovely.
