Supermarket Sweep

Lately, every time I go to the grocery store, random people start talking to me. I'm not exactly sure why, maybe I seem like a friendly person, maybe I look like I know what is the best thing to buy? Who knows? Either way, it is completely random. I could say, oh well, maybe that guy asked me about avocados because he thought I was cute? But I have women ask me questions too, young & old at that. Typically it is in the produce isle when people ask me about a certain item. "Do you think those peppers are hot?" "How do you quickly ripen avocados?" "How do I know if the sweetcorn is sweet?"... so I smile and offer my best advice and wish them good luck. But this is the ironic part, I HATE grocery shopping! I find it to be one of the worst tasks I have to do in my life. It fits somewhere between filling my gas tank and answering the phone. I guess I just find that grocery shopping is a lonely task. Of course now I might start having a change of heart about going to the store, with all these new friends I'm making...

Does anyone remember that game show Supermarket Sweep? OMG I loved that show! Now if going to the grocery store was like playing Supermarket Sweep I would go everyday! Fo sho!

Here is the recipe for the meal I made last night for the dinner party at K&K's...

Summer Shrimp Salad

1 pound frozen, fully cooked medium shrimp, thawed

1 medium red onion, thinly sliced

1 teaspoon honey

3 tablespoons olive oil

3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped

In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, onion, watermelon, jalapeños, and avocado.

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, oil, salt, and pepper. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad; toss. Sprinkle with the cilantro. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Yield: Makes 6 servings
