I would like some recipe suggestions please.

I went shopping today for a few things I needed. While I was out, I stopped for a delicious lunch of a slice of pizza with mushrooms and a small diet Pepsi. My favorite is pepperoni on my pizza, but I need to get my figure back for our trip to Las Vegas in November. We’ll be visiting our friends Tara and her beau.

Anyway, then I stopped at Home Depot to exchange an outside light. I bought two last week. One of them had been previously opened and carefully resealed to hid that fact. There were parts missing and it was damaged and useless to me.

Anyway #2, after that, I stopped at Costco just for the hell of it. Nothing else to do really. Lori’s at her brother’s place this weekend and I’m all alone.  I miss her when she's not around. :-(



Love that song. It’s always been a favorite of mine.

Anyway #3, I wandered around Costco picking up things that struck my fancy. Let’s see, I bought some detergent for the clothes and fabric softener. You know, the one that goes in the dryer. That’s a hell of a lot easy than using the liquid softener, don’t you think?

There I go again, sorry.

Anyway #4, I also pickup a couple of pounds of frozen uncooked shrimp. Lori and I lovvvvveeeee shrimp. I also got 4 cans of lump crab meat. I have no idea what I’m going to do with it, but I bought it anyway.

I bought a 4-pack of spotlights for the driveway. They burned out. Don’t worry, I bought the florescent ones. “They have 120 watts of light while using just 23 watts of power!” GO GREEN!!!!!

Aw hell! Here’s the recipe. You can read about the rest of the stuff I bought if your interested that much.


After that, I went to Pathmark to do some food shopping. I’m out of diet tonic and that just won’t do! I usually go to Stop & Shop, but they don’t sell fresh seafood anymore. BOOOOOOOOOOOO, for that!!!!!!!!!

I wandered the aisles like I usually do, picking up things that interest me as I go. I almost never shop with a list, so that’s normal for me. To make a long story short, LOL, me? make a story short? That'll be the day! here’s what I bought there if you're interested.


I went home after Pathmark.

I put away everything, well almost. I left out the crab meat, canned fruit and canned tuna. It was time for Happy Hour by then and well, you know me, that takes precedent.

I looked back through my email recipe archive, while indulging in my gin & tonic, to see if I found a recipe I wanted to cook for dinner and came up with Cheesy Tuna Skillet.

If you'd like the recipe, click the link above. That shit was GOOD! I substituted low fat soup, mixed veggies and whole grain pasta. Much better for me.

Remember that trip to Vegas to see the lovely Tara?

Dinner was yummy and so easy to make. Try it you’ll like it! I have a lot of left over, so if you want to try some, come on over!

Geeze! I keep getting side tracked from the point of this post!!!!!!

Anyway # must-13-by now, I’d like to know if anyone has a recipe that uses lump crab meat. I really like crab meat, so am looking forward to eating some.

I have a lot of inventory of cooking supplies in the house, so ingredients aren’t a problem. I only ask that the recipe not be fried, low fat and low sodium if possible. Thank you in advance for your help.

Here’s my food inventory if it helps.



I have plenty of spices too.



I did buy a few fresh produce; tomatoes, green peppers and mushrooms.



And for snack, I have 94% fat free popcorn and Movie Theater Butter flavored if your not worried about your weight.

The high-in-fat-Movie-Theater-Butter-flavored popcorn isn't for me. My son Brian eats it. He doesn't have a too-short-for-his-weight problem, YET. Yet, I say because I was a skinny-as-a-bean-pole kid growing up. Then I got old and the waist line started to grow and has been growing ever since.

Well, there was that time I was on Weight Watchers and loss 50 pounds.

But that's another story.
