Tonight’s dinner is easy for me. I have to mince 4 cloves of garlic, heat up some leftover rice, and zap the Stouffer’s spinach soufflé for 10 minutes. John, on the other hand, has to peel and de-vein the shrimp, make a stock out of the shells, and cook the shrimp in the stock, white wine, and garlic. Oh, and I have to chop up some parsley for garnish.  So it seems like an even division of labor, right?

We do all those things and somehow it is after 8 PM when we finally sit down to dinner. I keep telling John that I need to eat earlier because I spend between 5 PM and whenever we have dinner noshing on this and that. It is no good for my diet plan!

Anyway the dinner is super tasty and actually pretty simple to do.
