So she is not home for the weekdays ( she comes on friday and leave on sunday evening) .
Why I wrote the above information is to say that I have not baked anything at all from that time on wards.
Usually I bake something home made every few days so that when S comes from school in the late afternoon she can have freshly baked Cupcakes, Macarons, Cake etc......
But nobody is there to come home these days late afternoon saying I am hungry and what is there for snack.
So no baking, but here comes the good news, I have told S when I come and visit her on Wenesday I am bringing her some baking goodies ( I have been going to see her on Wenesday as her lessons are finished earlier ) so I go to her place and talk with her , she talks I listen as she has so much things to say what happend in the lessons and how intresting everyhting is.
And after listening to her I am asking, why is not your bed made and she replies fast well i just left like that for Airing :-)
Then we go out and have early Dinner together and then I take the train back home.
I am going this wenesday too, but I am sure soon she will tell me I don't have to come as I am the only Mom who comes and visit the daughter there and it is not good for her Image. :-)
Now to the recipe, this is a easy but really yummy Scampis, that I served when I gave drinks for a party.
I prepare them earlier and serve them cold.
1 Zucchini cut very thin. ( I use a peeler to get really thin slices)20 Scampis peeled.
Few tbsp of olive oil
1 onion finely chopped.
2 cloves of garlic chopped
1 tsp chillie flakes
Few tbsp of fresh parsley
2 tbsp of Lime juice
Peper and Salt for taste
Extra oil for grilling the Zuchini slices
First brush the Zuchinni slice with oil and grill in a pan andkeep aside.
Heat the oil in a pan , add the onion and fry for few minuted add the garlic, chilli flakes and fry for 2 more minutes, add the Scampis, salt and peper and fry for some 5 minutes not more other wise they get rubbery.
Add parsley and sprinkle with the lime juice.
Take 2 scampi's and roll them with a Zucchini slice.

Fabulous picture, as usual! I did scampis (with coconut and fresh coriander) for my family as well last week when I went to France.
ReplyDeleteIt's touching how you tell about your daughter going to university: part funny, but part sad too... that's life! :-)
