Bean salad

I tried some Carolina Caviar the other day, It was OK, but field peas aren't my favorite, so I mixed up this.

1 regular can of Garbanzos
1regular can of peas and carrots
1 regular can of whole kernel corn
A handful of chopped olives with pimento
enough Mayo to coat every thing
A hand full of three cheese mix (grated)
Salt and pepper to taste.
A generous shot of Tomato Bacon salad dressing

Drain everything, dump it in a bowl, add the remaining ingredients, fold together. Serve cold.

I would show you a colorful photo, but we ate it all.

Fishing again?

If the master of the sea allows, another trip Monday. More good things to eat.

Hopefully it will be better than the bash and splash trip last time.

Another new quick recipe,
One can seasoned tomatoes w/basil and oregano
One small jar artichokes in water
One small can of mushrooms in water
Some Old Bay Seafood Seasoning
Throw in some Shrimp or clams or fish chunks.
Heat until the seafood is cooked, serve over rice.

I grated some Asiago cheese over mine. Had it for the evening meal. Tasty.
