Back in the UK, "Scampi" almost always means some kind of shrimp tail shelled, battered and deep-fried (what else would you expect from the Brits!). Scampi as a particular variety of shrimp is the langoustine - best described as a salt-water crawfish - it's got claws. <br /><br />@Abejo - you can get Stilton for much less at Trader Joe's, but be aware that it's a little riper than the Whole Foods stock and therefore don't leave it too long before you eat it. It does freeze very well though, so if you buy more than you need wrap the excess and throw it in the freezer.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00485564817818402947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-57192442202436100792011-11-21T18:31:35.869-06:002011-11-21T18:31:35.869-06:00Jayce,

One sticking area today was a learning moment for me. Paean is a new word as I have always used the word Psalm for a hymn of praise. <br /><br />I never can remember Clark Kent's birth name. My comic book reading days are some 60 years in the past and my brain is a bit rusty after all these years.<br /><br />Gorgonzola and a good Port are my favorite after dinner treat with some really good crackers. Try it, you'll like it as they used to say to Mikey!

I don't try to set a speed record but I'll bet I could do an easier puzzle like this one faster with pencil and paper than online. <br /><br />I had a great time playing with my daughter's new iPhone. That personal assistant, Siri, is amazing. Her little iPhone has more computing capability than the big main frames we used to use at Hughes Aircraft Company in my early days as an engineer.<br /><br />I know we have a lot of baseball fans here. I'm watching 'Fever Pitch' again with Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore. It's romantic, funny, emotional and lots of fun.
