Another Best Seller in the works

We have a good reason why we haven't been blogging for several days. We are writing an ebook. Well, it's actually an eCookbook. And it's going to be beautiful with our favourite happy hour recipes and food photos. We plan to have it on the website within a week. So, please check back. http://www.thecookingladies.com

FIRST RECIPE FOR 2009

Time for some fun! Here's a simple free-wheeling recipe that we just created and enjoyed. It was so good, we want to share with you. We're calling it free-wheeling because we're only providing the list of ingredients and the method. The quantities are up to you. Really it's not necessary to have exact quantities for this recipe. You just throw it all together, cook it, and enjoy. If you like the results, please let us know.

SIMPLE SHRIMP

(Makes as many servings as you want)

Ingredients:
Garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
Ginger, peeled and finely chopped
Extra virgin olive oil
Really LARGE fresh or frozen shrimp, peeled and deveined

Method:
Combine equal amounts of chopped garlic and ginger in a bowl.
Add enough olive oil to cover the garlic and ginger. Mix well.
Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat them with the flavors.
We cooked the shrimp outside with a griddle on the barbecue.
A fry pan on the stove will work too.
Preheat the griddle or the fry pan to medium-high.
Cook and turn the shrimp until they become flamingo-pink on all sides.

Enjoy! AND HAVE A HAPPY 2009!

AN UNWRAP PARTY

We have been busy catching up with our "to do" lists after putting everything on hold for "On the Road 2008." For awhile getting our lives back in order looked like an impossible task but we think we are winning, as long as we don't add too many new things to our lists for a few days. The next deadline is to write our regular column for RV Lifestyle magazine by next week.

We were not the only ones that needed some rejuvenating after the road trip. The motorhome worked as hard as we did this summer taking us over 15,000 kms without any mechanical problems.




A couple of days at Patterson RV in Dutton for some tender loving care. Including replacing the windshield which sustained a nasty crack from a flying stone on the way to Fort McMurray.










We had an unwrapping party at Outhouse Design in Chatham complete with pizza and wings compliments of The Cooking Ladies.

Ladies' Nights

November means Ladies' Nights at Home Hardware Stores.

This year we prepared goodies and demonstrated appliances at Milton Home Hardware Building Centre and Dorchester Home Hardware.

The Cooking Ladies with Ada and Aaron at Dorchester Home Hardware. You will recognize Ada from the Home Hardware commercials.

MORE EXCITING GUEST APPEARANCES

The Cooking Ladies appeared along with Don Cherry at McNaughton Home Hardware Building Centre, Newbury, Ontario, on Saturday, September 13, 2008.

And were the guest speakers at the annual volunteer breakfast at the Ritz Villa in Mitchell, Onario.
