My kids are all home for dinner tonight, yay! I've got Italian music playing in the background and a fresh glass of Chianti, lovely! As I've mentioned before, they are in various stages of vegetarianism so cooking can be a challenge but they all eat shrimp & pasta so this will be perfect! Since Beren picked up the shrimp BOGO last week, it's also a cheap way to feed a bunch of people. Add a big salad and the fresh multigrain bread I purchased at the French bakery today, perfection!

Mmmm. Sound delicious.
Sounds good. I would love to go to the Bahamas! My husband actually promised to take me on a Caribbean cruise when we met - but he told me later it was a joke!! I'm gonna make him keep his promise anyway... When we're old and grey probably. ;-)
Antgirl, it was a big hit! :)
Annie, I would absolutely hold your hubby to his promise! You'd have a wonderful time in the Bahamas, it is beautiful and so relaxing.
