I may or may not have said “suck it up buttercup” to my younger co-workers who were complaining a little. Does this mean I’m a cranky old guy who wants people off his lawn? Lord I hope not.

Daily Prompt: Meddle
There is a difference between heavy metal and heavy meddle. One is music and the other is someone who gets in your business and other affairs. No one likes to be meddled with whether it be family or friends. The right to do what you like is something people take seriously. I remember the cartoon Scooby Doo where the teen detectives meddle in the business of the guy trying to scare people off. Perhaps its best not to meddle in other people’s stuff because it could come back to bite you.

Louisiana “Shrimp Foil”
This is quick way to take a culinary trip to Louisiana for a shrimp boil but won’t take quite as long. This is delish!
- 1 lb shrimp (if frozen, thaw and drain first)
- 1 lb andouille sausage, sliced
- 12-16 baby red potatoes, halved or quartered
- 8 mini ears frozen corn
- 1/2 lemon
- 1 stick butter, cubed
- 2 tbsp Old Bay seasoning
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp salt
Cut 4 rectangles of aluminum foil and set aside. Heat 1/2″ water and 1 tsp salt until boiling; add potatoes, then corn, and cover for 10 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon and divide equally onto foil rectangles, followed by butter cubes and garlic, then sausage and shrimp. Squeeze lemon juice over each packet and sprinkle evenly with Old Bay. Wrap each packet securely and place on baking sheet. Bake at 400 for 20 minutes. Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
