I microwaved my squash instead of baking it.

I've not tried shrimp scampi with parsley before, but the parsley made it taste brighter. It was really good. I did add the last of my sweet peppers. I think lemon basil would be a good variation, too; but all this unseasonably cold weather *shakes head sadly* . Well, there's always next summer.
Got any favorite tabouleh recipes?
My brother and his family has had to cancel at the last minute, so it's just going to be my sister, my mother, and me for Thanksgiving. I thought instead of a traditional dinner, we should each try and make a dish we've never made but wanted to try and make. Mom wants to do something seafood-ish for a main dish, and I have been meaning to give tabouleh a try. My sister hasn't decided what she wants to fix yet.

bu...bu...but it was 19F! And 22F! And 27F! Even in the hoop house the basil is gone. Basil *hates* cold weather. Oh, I know, I could *sneer* use store bought basil, but I *am* the Basil Queen of southeast Columbia. And just last week I still had tons.
Although, you know, that recipe is very similar to my basil butter recipe, and I did make a bunch of basil butter before the cold hit. Mostly because the Puppy au Pair wanted to know how to make it, but we make it we did. Maybe I'll offer Mom some.

We have a pretty good one in my town, open on Saturdays. And I'm really looking forward to trying out the one that just opened up in my hometown (or rather, the beach town right next to it), when my family gets together for its annual vacation there. Apparently it's been an unexpectedly big hit, so we'll need to get there early the day it's open.
