Great summer read

The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach has been getting praise for a while now, so I had to see what the fuss was about; and the fuss is well deserved.  Very well written, it felt like a good John Irving book (but a little less quirky).  The main characters all work or matriculate at a small college and the characters are so well developed you feel as if you know them.  While baseball is a main theme of the book, it is certainly not overrun by play-by-plays. 



Yummy, Easy Shrimp

This takes 5 minutes to prepare!
Pour 1 stick of melted butter on a cookie sheet.  Cover the butter with slices of lemon (I used 2 lemons). Put a shrimp on each lemon.  Put a small slice of fresh garlic on each shrimp.  Sprinkle with a packet of dried Italian seasoning.  Bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees.  I served it over yellow rice. Mmmm!
