Operation: Cook ALL The Foods is COMPLETE. (Except for the shrimp that were already cooked when they went into the freezer. Those I'm just tossing because I haven't figured out how to make sure they're safe to eat without overcooking them.) Thanks for the shrimp tip, [personal profile] madgastronomer.

Operation: Wash ALL The Dishes is COMPLETE. (Except for the pan in which I baked the chicken breasts. That's gonna soak overnight, because the stuff burned to the bottom is stuck good.)

Fall down nao?

*\o/* GO YOU!

And you're welcome.

I grew up on fresh shrimp and fish. Dad liked to catch both. Shrimp Night at our house meant boiling up half a pound or even a pound of shrimp per person, setting the collander with all of that in the center of the table on the porch, giving everybody a bowl of melted butter with lemon juice, and a paper plate for shells. First time guests get a lesson in peeling shrimp. DIG IN. Goddamn delicious. I can't get good, sweet, Gulf Stream shrimp out here, it's all cold water Pacific crap. Not the same. So I never eat shrimp like that anymore. And Dad doesn't shrimp anymore, so I never get it when I visit, either.

Mix a little dish soap with baking soda to make a paste --think toothpaste consistency-- and that will help scrub the residue after it's soaked. If you don't have baking soda to hand, plain table salt will work, too.

Soaking pots or pans is a good life choice. *nods*

Hooray for Cooking ALL THE THINGS!
