T.G.I.F. + Shrimp Remoulade

Yes, that's right, Thank goodness it's almost Friday! It's been a whacky week and I am looking forward to the week end. Holiday stress is peaking, but still so much to do. Only 6 shopping days left,for gifts, and only 3 shopping days left,for Christmas dinner, plus two parties, extra guests, and the list goes on and on.

I keep telling myself that in only one week, it'll all be over and worth all the effort, and then it will be party time, for New Year's. Hooray, my favorite holiday is almost here. Meanwhile, here is an appetizer recipe that I plan to serve on my holiday buffet. It's a family favorite and will compliment the Spinach-Crawfish Dip, perfectly. Cest bon, cher!
