Where did two years go? Living, loving, learning...

2  years being Mome' and Mommy and Daughter and Sister and yes Bae flew by.

Life is good and trying to keep it that way is exhausting but in the best possible way. 
After two years away from my last post we will keep this one light and breezy. 

Mood: Chicago House Music on the Radio, Yes Real Radio, speakers bumping this lil house.

We have had lot's of early mornings around here lately, so with the choice between dining out and a movie or a long nap well, as it should, the nap won.

Now we are up sipping bubbles, singin and rump shakin. After a light late supper of chicken and shrimp pasta salad. 

Got a Deep Fryer. My cast iron skillet is cursing me out, I can feel it looking at me with that sad disappointing look. But wow, Check @twitter for picture of the chicken. Amazing!

I tweeted that I would post the pasta recipe, it's below. 

The best thing about this dish is you can tweak it to your taste and change it depending on your mood or budget. Normally its just onion, mayo, egg and shrimp. I had a few extra veggies so I added them. You could add crab or shrimp or both works!

I also added Turmeric, please google and find ways to use it. This is a great one! It makes it so pretty and yellow.
