Only you could turn a love memoir into a recipe article... When it seems like you both were one another's favorite "dish" from the start! Yet again I had to drop in to say congrats on 44 years...and leave you your 26th review to put [ this into ATB category! (Where all good marriages and recipes should be!)

Hi John,
Well, a little late, but Happy Anniversary to you and the Mrs! We got your bad weather today, May 1st, up here in New Brunswick... windy and pouring rain! It was my chance to do a little catching up in my reviewing. From 85 messages, I'm now down to 34. It was a terrible day.
I like the sound of those grilled shrimp wraps! I'm a sucker for seafood. My favorite is sauteed scallops! A few mussels would be nice, too.
It sounds like you enjoyed a nice supper and good movie to celebrate your special day.
Hey, do you like westerns? If so, look up "Old Henry" in Netflix (if you have that). What a great recent western!
Cheers,
Kimbob

    Hey there Kimbob. I get upset when my messages reach 20.

    Sautéed scallops are delicious.

    And yes, I like westerns and will check out that movie.

    Thanks for the review. Good hearing from you.

Sweet!!! I am salivating as I read this delightful story. You are a lucky man and she is a lucky foxy lady. Now that my husbands hair is white. I call him my silver fox. Hummmm!

Well done.
Blessings

This is a wonderful anniversary dinner, with recipes included. Top Gun was one of my favorites to snuggle with my husband. I do not see any room for improvement. Have a blessed day and Happy Anniversary!

Lol... I love this line, 'I know your mouths are anxious to read on.' The only think that made me crinkle my nose was the poor man's macaroni salad. Not only am I not a fan of mayonnaise, but I also live in Amish country. No way that is macaroni salad in their book.
How long did you marinate the shrimp? And do you think it would work with salmon? My hubby is not a fan of shrimp.
Thanks for sharing especially the recipe.

    Marinate about 30 minutes on the shrimp (we don?t want it to break down) and absolutely it would be delicious with salmon.
    Thank you for reading and enjoying.

Yes, now my stomach says bring it on. Glad you guys have made it work for you all those years. 57 for me and the wife before she went home to be with the Lord. I always enjoy treading you post. I always walk away to the Fridge.

Happy anniversary, and congratulations on forty-four years of "Love and Happiness." (A song by Al Green) I love the recipes. The shrimp wraps sound good, but I have never though of making homemade potato chips. I'm trying them this week. Yum. BTW, beautiful wedding picture. Thanks for sharing.

LOL, dang, John...never admit to loving Tom Cruise more than your wife on your anniversary! Umm, I am wondering if I read that right, but he was drinking beer...so maybe he just blurted it out without thinking.

It really doesn't make any difference. I'm sure she loves you more than she does Tom Cruise. Congratulations on 44 years. I do hope you get many more. Terry.

    I guess I should have written the last line as - just not as much as she loves me!

    Thank you, Terry. I appreciate your reading and commenting.

Congratulations on your anniversary. Forty-four years together is a great achievement. It sounds like your evening together was special even though you missed going to town. I love the ending.
