Dinner Party Idea

Ok, I realized I have been an absolute horrible blogger but I am going to try to change that.  My super busy time is now over so I am here to do a couple nights of food in one post.  Side note, my little brother got married this weekend and the wedding was AMAZING!!

Alright, so a few nights before this big day Matt and I whipped up a new DELICIOUS dinner.  It is a recipe that Alton made to use leftover garlic shrimp, but he also gave a recipe for his own garlic shrimp.  His Garlic Shrimp Casserole is pretty simple to make, and remotely quick with not a lot of ingredients.

Please take my advice and make this and LOVE it.  We will be making it again in the very near future.  So now this takes me to tonight's recipe.  I am thinking I need to have a Asian inspired dinner party.  Although this recipe is more of an intermediate recipe, I can promise you that it is well worth the extra effort.  So my dinner party idea is to have these Perfect Potstickers for an appetizer and then make the shrimp casserole for dinner and then i need to come up with some kind of asian desert, but I haven't gotten that far yet.  I will take this idea and make it happen at some point in my life.  Until then I will make both of these yummy recipes over and over again.

I learned how to fold them from the wonderful Gooners that I have mentioned earlier in this blog.  I just made some rice to go with the potstickers, since there isn't a whole lot else to go with this meal.  I scorched the first batch of these puppies but I got the hang of it the second time around.  My mouth is watering just thinking about these!!  Maybe if you are lucky, you can score an invite to my dinner party, although I need a kitchen table first!


Our landscaping project is still coming along nicely, just sort of a long process.  We went and checked on the garden today and it is mostly looking great.  Unfortunately we have a few causalities to mention, no more watermelon, eggplant (super sad about this) and no more onions.  We did add some peppers today, those took a bit longer to grow up from the seeds.  Matt also tried to harvest a radish today.....but no radish was found at the bottom.  Lets hope this isn't a trend.
