An Autumn Treat: Harvest Shrimp Salad

This is one of those recipes that I would take with me to a desert island -- provided the desert island had cranberries, apples, walnuts, and celery growing wild. The shrimp shouldn't be a problem.
It's got a great balance of flavors and textures -- sweet, savory, salty, crunchy, and smooth -- and makes an awesome sandwich (especially on toasted wholegrain bread.) Or spin it up in a wrap for lunch with some baby spinach leaves and make your work mates weep with longing. If you're feeling generous, give them the recipe. You won't want to give away even a tiny bite!

Sympathy for the Deviled Whiting

Yes, folks, fish can be scary and kinda creepy. Or at least that's what I've heard about this photo. Some have suggested it makes the fish look sort of...well, spidery.

That's not exactly what I was trying for when I took the shot of this very, very tasty Spicy Deviled Whiting. Actually, I don't think I could tell you what I was trying for, but apparently I ended up with something else. I guess they can't all be as pretty as this one, but I still like the picture, spidery or not .

And if you want to scare up a good Halloween dinner tonight, deviled whiting will certainly do the trick -- and be a treat. (Like how I worked that in there? Subtle, huh?)
