I’ve bookmarked that recipe too…but am afraid of the fire!
So many places to choose from in the Napa area…which part of Napa are you headed and for how long? I was just up there yesterday visiting my in-laws in St. Helena.

Mmmmm…that looks hot, hot, hot I planned Christmas dinner for my in-laws last year, and my appetizer was garlic shrimp with paprika and basil, flambéed with grand-marnier. It was only the second time I’d tried the technique so I might’ve been a little crazy — but it turned out yummy!

I’m laughing because everything you said is true! Conversations, dessert, what are those again? I guess we’ll remember when they turn into teenagers and we’ll be lucky enough to get them to the table at once!

I also have 3… boys! So you get the picture. And today is Valentine’s Day here! They are going to be home with a sitter. Glad we can still connect and have time together.

I guess I need to start cherishing the time I have with my husband before we have kids!

Great dish- it sounds delicious!

this was so good! i didn’t have any cream around so i swapped in some creme fraiche, and served the shrimp over yellow rice with diced peppers and onions mixed in. it was really quick and easy. we’ll definitely be making it again.

and i don’t know if we added a little more tequila that the recipe indicated, but the flame was no joke!

I’ve never flamed anything (always seems a bit scary), but this sounds pretty easy, not to mention yummy. I even have some crema that I bought for fish tacos (still dreaming of those Rubio tacos from last month!) later this week. I’ll definitely give this recipe a whirl.

Have a great get-away. My daughter’s 24 and on her own in Dallas. We definitely enjoy the empty-nest. Your day will come.

I also want to chime in and say how much I enjoy your writing style, Kristen. Your lead-in is always spot-on and entertaining.
