an uninteresting monday

Today, Jen worked near downtown Denver (she went up there to visit another clinic). She had a good time. It was a lot busier there than her usual clinic, but she really liked it.

When she got home, I had prepared the laziest, but healthiest of all meals: boiled shrimp, onion and asparagus, and a salad. I threw it all together within 15 minutes. We had bought some large shrimp at Albertsons (along with 3 HUGE t-bones and a chuck roast, since they had a great meat sale), and some asparagus at King Soopers (grocery game... get with it). Jen called me and said she would be home in a few minutes. I ran into the kitchen, and this is what I cooked:

Shrimp
Ingredients: Water, Shrimp
Boil water. Put shrimp in. Cook for 6 minutes (for large shrimp)

Asparagus and Onions
Ingredients: Asparagus, Onions, Fake Butter, Any Spices that sound good (I used salt, pepper, basil, garlic powder, paprika, and a couple others that sounded good at the time)
Put onions in pan for 4 minutes with butter and spices. Cook until they look tasty. Then toss in asparagus. Cook until asparagus is tender (if you toss it with the spatula, it bends easily).

Salad
Fresh Express salad. Bagged spinach.
Grab handful of salad. Grab handful of spinach. Put in bowl. Add Taylors special salad dressing (maybe someday Jen will post the recipe for Taylors dressing)

Serve

Cat's perspective: The shrimp smelled tasty, so we jumped up on the table and were batted away. However, we held strong, and "daddy" offered us some boiled shrimp. We sniffed it and decided we'd be better off licking our backsides.

PS: Our cats enjoy hanging out on top of our cabinets (which really aren't that high since we live in a handicapped apartment).
