The Lost Supper

The McHusband and I have watched Lost since it first started, and tonight is the end of an era with its series finale. In honor of the show, we had shrimp, veggies, and rice for dinner. I figured the Losties definitely caught fish and shrimp to eat, and Sun had a garden. As for the rice... Hmm, maybe the Others grew some of that.

The McHusband brought home a recipe for Shrimp with Asian Barbecue Sauce and since I only needed two ingredients (one of them being the shrimp), it seemed like a good night to give this a try. Since we're trying to be healthy, we had zucchini and rice as our sides. The shrimp and zucchini were supposed to be grilled, but our grill seems to be going through its rebellious teenage years and it only works when it wants to lately so I ended up using the broiler, which worked out just fine. The rice was nuked as usual; hey, surely the Hatch had a microwave.

A word of warning: Be careful with how much Zatarain's Creole Seasoning you use. That stuff packs a punch.




The shrimp was good, but not great. I think the sauce was a bit too sweet for us. If I'm feeling brave one night, I think it'd be worth tweaking to make it more to our liking.




We each had a glass of my Whiskey Slush with dinner. That stuff is GOOD. I'm with the commenters who said they just keep a batch of it in their freezer all summer long.


All right, time to wrap this up and get stuff ready for tomorrow. Lost started at 9:00 (it's 9:20 now), but we're recording it and will start watching it at 10:00 so we can hopefully miss out on all the commercials. The show's on until 11:30 so hopefully we'll time it just right to finish it around when it really ends.
