Thanks hiltiki,
That shrimp dish you did looked great too.
I love shrimp but my wife does not so don't have it as much.

Cooking is lots o fun to me it is a hobby, passion and even the way
I made a living for 20 or more years working for others and then owning
my own diner called Jacks after my father.
So being born into the business may have been a push to cook as well.
Even worked at Ohio State University cooking for 3000 students a night, we
made pasta in a 100 gallon steam kettle where we would cook 40 pounds of pasta at a time.

I do miss the restaurant work but it is a young mans game and I am not young any more.

So try new things at home.
Grilled, smoked food is WAY better right off the grill.
When you go to a BBQ joint it is just not the same.

Plus when you do many different things in life it makes you a more interesting person
as you have at least some first hand knowledge about weird fun stuff.
And if your weird task messes up you have a great story about the day you Messed up.
