~:[Day 6]:~ The Chef is In!

~:[Day 6]:~ The Chef is In!
I find it funny that I was born where the current Ranch 99 is, however, it's true. I was born somewhere in that plaza and possible right where I bought all the ingredients the dinner I made tonight. In any case, while running errands after grading all morning, I decided to buy food to cook dinner. I haven't made dinner (excluding holidays) for a little while, so I figured, what the heck. Heading to Ranch 99, I decided to make seafood pasta. I picked up manila clams, squid, shrimp, scallops, baby clams, ground chicken, various mushrooms and bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, Italian squash, parsley, basil, and dill. Aside from the seafood pasta, I made a quick appetizer, a spicy shrimp and scallop that had dill, wasabi, garlic, ginger, oyster sauce, shoyu (soy sauce), hot chili paste, and various seasonings. Both turned out fabulous and I thoroughly enjoyed scarfing it down. Want me to cook for you?? Despite being on a diet, I ended up eating two plates, drank one small bowl of soup made from the sauce, and then went back for one more small bowl. I also packed one for lunch on my ride to Vegas! In any case, it's an early trip to bed tonight, as I am heading to Vegas at 4:30am tomorrow!
