Pineapple-Orange Habanero Salsa goes well with unexpected shrimp tacos — citrus salsa

Continuing “the cleanse” I decide to head down to the dungeon, oops, I mean the basement, to see what I can toss out. I dread it because 99% of what is down there belongs to the husband and I try not to touch his stuff. He does not aspire to my minimalist personality, but I note his piles are very organized. Maybe he is coming around to my philosophy about stuff. As he sorts through his piles may he remember my mantra: “you got to love it, you got to need it and you got to use it. Otherwise get rid of it.” I just close my eyes and head off to a corner of the room.

my husband hiking — Can’t complain about a husband who is willing to forage for mushrooms. He’s a Keeper.

Tackling the “mancave” fridge/freezer is always fun. I never know what I am going to find in there because husband stocks it with groceries I would never buy and usually when I am away. Finding some brand name creamed chipped beef is no surprise (husband loves it), but a big box of breaded shrimp caught me completely off guard. What the heck am I supposed to do with that version of fast food? Can I make it healthy? Unexpected shrimp tacos here we come.
