Introduction:

“... food is not simply organic fuel to keep body and soul together, it is a perishable art that must be savored at the peak of perfection.”

― E.A. Bucchianeri

I am going to go all out and cook. My Sunday dinner menu will consist of a broiled thin sliced T-Bone and jumbo shrimp, re-fried black beans, asparagus and an avocado/tomato salad.

T-Bones & Shrimp: Broiled

T-Bones

I used Weber's steak seasoning, dash of Cheyenne pepper and garlic power with freshly squeezed lemon juice cooked on the lower rack on "high broil" until brown and the turnover, adding more lemon juice and place on the upper rack for about 5 to 7 minutes. This will depend on if you like rare, medium rare or well done, which is my personal preference.

Shrimp

I used Weber's New Orleans shrimp seasoning, lemon juice, Cheyenne pepper and a dash of garlic.

Re-fried Black Beans

In one of my previous post, you can find out how I make black bean soup. I had some black beans left over from last Sunday (about 3 ½ cups) and wanted to utilized but in a different manner. So all you have to do is drain all the juice off and place a heated pan with two table spoons of oil. Then use your handy smasher. Once smashed, add ½ fresh jalapenos without seeds, a ½ cup of minced red onion and one small minced clove of garlic. Let cook for about ten minutes on a medium heat. When complete and ready to eat, top the beans off with crumbled “Ranchero” cheese and a couple of leaves of cilantro.

Asparagus

I just steam for about 7 to 10 minutes because it is very important to never over cook vegetables. Once complete I add a table spoon of light butter, salt pepper. I like to keep this item light.

Avocado/Tomato Salad

You will need to cubed fresh avocados (remember they must to be firm) mixed in with diced tomatoes (firm), ¼ cup diced red onion and mince the other half of the jalapeno mentioned above. Then add two freshly squeezed lemons.

I always eat my food with freshly made corn tortillas and when it's done I will take a picture.

Buen Provech! Diana

My featured artist this evening is a dinner favorite, Diana Krall. The song selection is "Squeeze Me" (2) with a jazz genre. Also, I have listed the lyrics below for your reading pleasure.

"Squeeze Me" (3)
Treat me sweet and gentle 
When you hold me tight 
Just squeeze me 
But please don't tease me 

I get sentimental 
When you hold me tight 
Come and squeeze me 
But please don't tease me 

Missing you since you went away 
Sing the blues most everyday 
Counting the nights and longing for you 

I'm in the mood to let you know 
I never knew I loved you so 
Please tell me that you love me too 

For when I get that feeling 
I'm in ??
Come on squeeze me 

But please don't tease me
