Ärende: end picnic 87
=====================
More leftovers and a citrus cake with lemon frosting in the
morning; then after goodbyes all around, I left with the
Shipps - they took somewhat of a detour to get me to Annie
and Billy's (but a good stopping point, as close to bisecting
the journey). After 2 1/2 hours, we were in Williamsport.

Annie had marinated flank steaks for dinner, so our original
plan for jambalaya was put on hold. The recipe was the Billy
Joel one with lime juice, anchovy, and garlic. Pretty good;
I cooked one blue rare, one medium-rare, and one medium. The
funny thing (whisper) is that the medium one was supposed to
be medium-rare, and the medium-rare one was supposed to be
the medium one. The blue one was perfect for me, though
Billy, who was in good appetite, had some of it. I made
cottage fries with lots of onion to go with.

Next day it was time for poorman's jambalaya, except that
shrimp were added, which made it rich man's jambalaya: I
liked it better than the traditional picnic fare, because
I like shrimp. The recipe is all over the Internet, so,
ah, heck, here it is again, with one emendation.

MMMMM

All things must pass. Gail and Dale had to leave eventually,
but I stuck around for a while, cooking whatever requests I
could, nothing memorable, at least I don't remember anything.
