Chefs today might be prepping food for a Father's Day celebration or just for a summer day's good eating. Rob was motivated by a half-price bag of shrimp...
Hudson Valley Seeds
First I created the shrimp stock with the shells and some thyme from the courtyard.
Then a quick sauté of the shrimp
Shrimp come out of the pan, in goes a can of diced tomatoes and the stock.
Let that cook down and in the last few minutes, stir in butter, lemon, caper, and fresh basil.
This is a keeper for me and it plates up nicely
Kay made Rob's Vineyard Sauce
I used white wine vinegar because I didn’t have any red wine vinegar.
Shameful as I was married to an Italian.

Migrating Birds
Victor
gets a real sense of power
from
making his own raisins. He buys
pounds
and pounds of grapes
and
leaves them to dry
on
the kitchen table.
Theresa
doesn’t want to hear about
her
ex-husband’s cancer. Not on Father’s Day.
She
takes a train all night
to
have breakfast with her cousin.
All
Sunday she rides the train back.
Once
Martin’s wife had left,
he
decided to take advantage of her space.
He
built a sauna where her closet was,
and
now sits there every morning
to
read the paper and Buddha.
One
night Helga wore her prettiest dress,
thought
she knew he wouldn’t be there.
She
drank white wine, got drunk
(she
was on a diet), and fell down.
Later
he saw the holes in her pantyhose.
María
was usually bumping into
furniture.
Each time she got closer to what
she
wanted. “What do you want from me?”
“Nothing,”
he replied, so she took off
and
felt like migrating birds. But many.
