Sleeping at the backyard again

Well another sleeping outside at the backyard for Samantha and Greg. The weather nice, lot of stars in the sky, I am sure Samantha and Greg will have a good night sleep. The tent was a good investment, we used it a lot since we bought it two years ago. Coco the dog also sleeping outside in the tent with them, she is a good guard dog, I heard her barking few time in the middle of the night, maybe someone was walking at the back alley. For sure she made sure who ever out there knows that she was there guarding the backyard. Once again cannot wait until morning to ask Samantha about her night sleeping in the tent at the backyard.

Lemon butter shrimp

This dish is one of my daughter favorite food. I like to ask her what does she like to eat for supper, most of the time I always granted her wishes, either chicken kebab, chicken with tomato sauce, steak, fish, ribs, roast beef, pasta, lasagna etc, etc. Yesterday I asked her the same question and she told me she would like to eat shrimp. Well, she got it, (I always have frozen shrimp in the freezer) I cooked shrimp for the family. This dish is very simple, delicious, easy to cook and fast, but I recommended to eat this dish with rice, so do not forget to cook some rice too.

You need :

2 (two) packages of frozen shrimp - put them in the big bowl, filled with cold water, thaw them and drain the water.
oil (lots, put in the frying pot)
2 (two) lemon - get the juice
1 (one) tsp fish sauce
salt and pepper
1/2 cup water
2 (two) tbsp butter/margarine
1 (one) clove garlic - crush

Preparation :
Heat oil in the frying pot and fry the shrimp (do not over cook - if over cook the shrimp will turn hard). Once cook take the shrimp out, put it in the bowl and put aside.

Get the wok, heat it and put margarine - melt it and put garlic, cook it.
Put shrimps mix it well. Put salt, pepper, fish sauce, lemon juice, water ... mix it well and taste it. Cook until the sauce boiling turn off the fire and pour into big bowl and serve it with rice, eat it while it hot. Enjoy it, do not forget to eat your green too.

Sleeping at the backyard

Samantha and Greg are now sleeping in the tent at the backyard. This is the second time they were sleeping outside in the tent. Both of them loved it, specially Samantha. Not me, I love my bed, I won't change my bed with a blow out bed, and I am not looking forward to sleep in the cold night, I loved my cozy big bed and warm blanket. I gave extra blanket for Samantha in case the night is colder and she might need it. We bought the tent two summer ago, they were on sale, good price, so we bought it because Samantha kept asking us when she can sleep outside in the tent at the backyard. Now she can sleep outside at the backyard in the tent with her dad. I said to myself, Samantha can sleep in the tent as many times as she likes as long as it is at the backyard, not in the wood or camping ground or open air along the river .... no ... no .... no, not in those location. Backyard ... yes. Well, I do not feel comfortable and safe sleeping in the tent outside in those location, wild life roaming the area, you name it start from bear to wolf, better safe. So tonight is the second night they were sleeping outside, I am sure there will be more nights for both of them to sleep in the tent in the month of August as long as the weather permitted. I cannot wait till morning to ask Samantha about her night.
