Let It Snow, Let It Snow...
It's snowing here on the east coast, and my mother was on her way back from New York, so she decided to stay with us over night so as to avoid driving in freezing rain and sleet. My night meeting was cancelled due to weather, so I've stayed home tonight working on the phone. I took a break to make dinner: shrimp cooked in wine and salsa verde with Trader Joe's Harvest Hodgepodge for mom, veggies for me but topped with brewers yeast, side of cottage cheese. MR got a stew of eggplant, yellow squash and zucchini with basil, oregano, and garlic in no salt veggie broth, with eggwhites for protein, flax oil for fat, and an apple hazelnut ricotta parfait on the side with hazelnut oil and Walden Farms chocolate sauce. My mom and I drank a very nice French rose (my mom is not a red drinker) and MR had his usual 3 oz of pinot. Kieffer had a few shrimp shells. We have to spell the word out: S-H-R-I-M-P to keep him from knowing what we're talking about. Then we have to pay him tribute in the form of a few shrimps and some shells or tails.
My mom and I are now watching Keith Olbermann videos online. I may not have a TV, but I can still get my Countdown fix!

Sounds like a delicious dinner. Glad you were able to spend some quality KO time with the mom. Lucky Kieffer!
