"Spicy Shrimp"

- 2 tablespoons Dried Rosemary
- 2 teaspoons Dried Thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon Fennel Seed
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 6 cloves of Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Celery Seed
- 1 1/2 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
- 2 quarts Chicken Broth Low Sodium
- 8 oz Clam Juice
- 6 oz Tomato Paste
- 1 stick of butter
- 1 cup White Wine
- 1 1/2-2 pounds Raw Shrimp peeled & deveined w/tails
- French Bread or Sourdough Bread for Dipping

Partially break up the rosemary, thyme and fennel seed with mortar and pestle or whatever you have handy. Place all ingredients, except wine and shrimp in a large pot. Simmer for about 30 minutes, then add white wine. Continue to simmer for a total cooking time of no more then 2 hours. I would suggest cooking for at least 1 1/2 hours.

Just before serving, add raw shrimp. Simmer stirring until shrimp is done, about 2-3 minutes. Cut bread into one inch slices & place into large basket or bowl for dipping.

Each bowl should contain a serving of shrimp and a lot of broth. The dish is eaten with your fingers...soak up the broth with the bread and enjoy !

A Girl's Best Friend...

Trader Joe's! Next best thing to Diamonds--in my book, anyways. I have to say I was rather disappointed in how quick I fell off the wagon with my gun-ho approach to a new me at 40! Oddly enough, I woke up yesterday morning, took my friend's kids to school, and then off to Tom's #4 we went. For one, it is amazing to me how many Tom's there are. Are they all just one big chain? One thing they have in common--the yummiest, fattening foods one can ever find! You can smell the grease as you are exiting the ramp, readying to turn onto their street (which in this case would be Orangethorpe). I have to say though, I was encouraged as an ex emailed me after reading Sunday's blog forwarding me weight-loss tips via an email article entitled, "A Breakfast Favorite that Blasts Fat?" Wow, so it's come to this. Truly, the man is a gem and is as sincere as he is disciplined. He, in fact, has got to be one of the most disciplined people I know (especially when it come...

Tea for Two...

So yesterday proved to be the perfect day for two friends to depart from O.C. into historic Pasadena. Granted it's only 30 minutes away or so, it was sad to think I rarely visit the home to the Bruins' cleats due to my newly fitted O.C. leash. Although we rarely visit, it was the perfect day, indeed. There was my sweet friend, Francesca, our English Tea treats and rain that sang for the couple of hours we caught up over Peach-Apricot and Ginger Peach teas. Interestingly enough, we realized that the last time we had tea together was at a four-star hotel in Paris, France almost five years ago...yikes! Regardless of where we last had tea, we were having tea yesterday, where every table of friends seemed to be enjoying conversations with sounds of a flowing fountain and elegant piano melodies echoing behind. It seems like only recently I've heard quite a few ladies inquire about the afternoon-teas I've attended, as they've never been. (At least it's not someone as...
