Big Shrimpin’
Sorry. Bad title.
So, apparently there’s just something about a crazy hectic schedule that makes me want to…throw a dinner party. Remember last January, when we were scheduled to have six friends over for a nice dinner and two days before the dinner I decided to redo our workout room? Fun stuff.
Things have been really busy around here lately—we’ve been packing up all week. And by “we,” I really mean Ryan. I’ve been watching old Sex and the City episodes while half-heartedly throwing my books into boxes and coming up with reasons why my Nightmare Hall collection needs to come with us to Alabama.
If you’re wondering, the main reason is so that my Fear Street collection doesn’t get lonely.
Anyhoodle, with all of that going on here this week, why wouldn’t we want to throw a dinner party?
I actually kept things really simple (and southern!). Easy shrimp po’boys, Alexia sweet potato fries, and simple coleslaw:
Plus Estela’s fried pickles as an appetizer (so good!):
and a pie for dessert (are you even surprised?):
Key Lime. Well, actually just regular lime:
But just as good. So good, in fact, that I forgot to take a picture of my slice. But here’s what’s left of the pie:
…aka, my breakfast.
Off to get more “packing” done! Have a great Thursday!
Love shrimp po’ boys! If you’ve got a good recipe, I’d love to check it out. Good luck packing!
Hehe, I love the title! I would kill for a shrimp po boy right about now (yes even at 930am)
And I can’t believe you mentioned Fear Street–wow-talk about throwback!
Mmm…pie for breakfast- I love it!
What a fun dinner! I’m so glad you liked the pickles
They’re my favorite 
Fried pickles and key lime pie? Sounds divine Anna…you are an amazingly impressive cook!
I have never had a fried pickle and really need one in my life. Like, now.
The food was delicious, as always! And I’m so glad you shared the recipe for fried pickles — that will make Nick very happy
Now that’s the sign of a good pie! I’m glad you took some time to enjoy time with friends…when you’re done packing up your place, why don’t you head to Atlanta and pack up mine…I’m dreading it!
Haha, that’s a great post title.
Do you remember the Christopher Pike books? I used to love those.
ha ha the title of this post is wonderful!
Oh that key lime pie just looks sooo awesome!
Haha – Happy Packing! I think we are similar packers! That pie looks awesome – recipe please

I love when you get nostalgic songs stuck in my head =)

Oh Fear Street. I loved them almost as much as I loved the RL Stein choose your own adventure books.
We had shrimp po boys when we were “down south” on our road trip! Yum! And fried pickles?? I’m on it!
I <3 Nightmare Hall!!!
Too funny on packing.
That’s awesome that you still find the energy to throw a dinner party and the pickles sound wonderful, must veganize the recipe!
