:thumbdown:Good Morning and TGIF!!!

Again, no birthday for our cheffers today...

I hope you all are doing well...we here in NJ are still shovelling out:thumbdown:.....sore muscles, but I slept so well!!! My DS really helped out....he snowblowed the driveway and paths to the house because my DH is back up in Buffalo, NY working again for a month(Buffalo, usually gets a ton of snow only got about an inch!!)....hard work for DS (15 yr. old) because the snow was deep and packed....but we did it!!!

Made shrimp bisque last night and have leftovers which my DD asked "can we have this tomorrow, too?":love:

Have a great weekend, all!! Stay safe and guess what....they are predicting more snow on Monday!!!:yuck::cry:

Of course I will share...that is what this thread is all about!!!!!!
My MIL love gave me this, she lives in the Florida Keys and you can substitute lobster for shrimp...

1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp. salt(I use only 1/2tsp.)
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 medium onion,minced
1 carrot diced/minced
1-2 stalks celery,diced/minced
5 cups chicken broth
few drops tabasco sauce-adjust for your taste
1 bay leaf
1 lb. shrimp, chopped--buy smallest shrimp because they get chopped up anyway, and are less expensive
1 pint light cream


1.Melt butter in 3+quart sauce pan
2.Blend in flour,salt and pepper,mix well
3. Add veggies,chicken broth, tabasco and bay leaf
4.Cover and simmer 10-15 minutes
5.Add chopped shrimp(I cut my shrimp in fours, because my family likes the chunks!), simmer 10 minutes.
6. Slowly stir in cream and warm it.

Hint #1, when I made this, I had to pick up my DS from friends house and let it sit for 45 min. (no heat)--was yummy

Hint #2, usually we eat this with Saltines, but I splurged and bought oyster crackers!!!

Hint #3, buy the shrimp frozen in a bag, taste just as good and less expensive
Enjoy let me know what you think of it!!!:chef:

I've got two recipes to go in Week 1 of Weekday Dinners Done. Can't for the life of me remember what they are, but one of them will be dinner tonight.

No snow down here, Barbara! But it is colder than the normal temps for this time of year.

Dinner? On Friday nights it is usually something quick - like McDonald's or Burger King because I run the PowerPoint slides at church for the praise team/speakers for our Celebrate Recovery program. There is little time between getting home from work and "getting to the church on time". Hey, isn't that a song from My Fair Lady? Ha! Ha!

My Church has a beautiful marriage celebration the Friday before Valentine's Day. Mass and we renew our vows (everybody at the same time. so cool!). Followed by a dinner/dance reception. Happy Valentine's Day! Kids are getting PB&J!
