I made a pan of Shrimp Destin, one of those Southern Living recipes Katie and I both love. Tasty as ever.
What's cooking at your place?

I made a salad today, since it was hot out (well, maybe not hot, but like late May around here!). I cooked some whole mung beans and chana dal, and added some diced potatoes (got a little too soft for a red potato, in that time), a large diced red bell pepper, plus some scallion greens, cutting celery, dill, and parsley from the hydroponics. I drained a can of kippered herring (got a bunch of these from Ocean State Job Lots, for $1.49 with a digital coupon), and chopped them up, and chopped 5 frozen Thai peppers, and stirred all this together, with a couple tb of toasted sesame seeds. The dressing was a simple EVOO and white wine vinegar, a little soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper, as always. Delicious! Could have put more heat in it - maybe tomorrow.
I also made some breadsticks, with the new yeast I just got, because I noticed that the old yeast was showing its age, the last couple of times I used it. It rose incredibly well, as always, when new, and I didn't even use the usual amount. I keep it in the fridge, and the "best by" date I wrote on the label was 5-22, but I definitely needed to replace it. Only wasted a few tb, so most was used.

DH and I went for our C-19 booster shots today. We walked around a bit. He got really pooped out. I was energetic enough to take out the recycling when we got home, since I was already dressed for outdoors. Well, that really pooped me out.
So, we ordered pizzas. I really enjoy the "make your own" pizzas that I can get from a local pizza place. I can get a tasty pizza with no nightshades whatsoever. w00t!
I'm curious to know what you mean by "make your own" pizzas from a pizza shop. I'm guessing they allow you to customize your own pizza with different sauces other than tomato sauce?
Yup, that's what I meant. Customize is a better word. I get to choose the crust type, how well the pizza is done, what kind of sauce, if any, what kind of cheese(s), and what kind of toppings and garnishes. I chose wholewheat, thin crust, well done, no sauce, mozzarella, New York style pepperoni, fresh mushrooms, feta, Kalamata olives, chili flakes, and "Italiano seasoning". I really like that combination. I don't even notice that there isn't any sauce. Once, I had it with pesto, for $2 extra. I didn't notice that either, so why bother?
