4 days without doughy carbs makes mrs. sleeper...

well, first the shrimp...when i walked in the door i was overwhelmed by the aromas of garlic and herbs. oh, it smelled heavenly! and then i peeked to the kitchen to see mr. sleeper putting the finishing touches on the dinner platter---he thought it would be fun to eat with our fingers cause everyone ought to "play with their food" every once in a while---so he circled a platter with skewered magic shrimp and filled the center with farmer's market fresh steamed broccoli. (i wish i had my camera for a picture...but i ran out of my office without it! suffice to say, it was a site to behold!) mr. sleeper KNOWS food stylin!

so, we sat down all comfy on the couch and popped in a video. he poured us some wine and BANG! bad shrimp! how can something look and smell fresh at the market, look and smell intoxicating on the platter and then taste off---you know, shrimpy? we attempted to eat another skewer thinking it was just one bad shrimp but alas we gave up and cleansed our palate with lots of broccoli and wine and...

popcorn!!! oh, yes! sleeper's magic rub on a stove popped bucket of popcorn with drizzled butter cured us of the "shrimpy shrimp!" and, it's one snack that is low carb so i barely broke any rules.
i sure felt naughty!
