Before long, but a bit later than planned, there was a smorgasbord of deliciousness. The lunch started with mini meatballs with a meat sauce which was followed up by a coconut shrimp appetizer. My main dish was a rice-avocado-mango-chicken salad which was perfect to compliment the spring weather. This incarnation of coconut shrimp was the best that I have done so far. One of the fresh ingredients I got from Stop and Shop was a coconut which I enlisted Lbo's gym going muscles to crack. I then grated the coconut and used that to coat the shrimp along with panko before frying them to a golden brown color. As usual I paired this with a peanut coconut sauce.
One day ago....
We went to a Mets game where I made sure to rock the freshest Mets gear out there. My newly purchased $5 cap was the talk of the town but mostly cause the Mets kinda stunk up the day. This led to a comatosed DJ and LBO, not even Corona ice broke them out of the funk. I imagine that I am the same way after a Knicks loss but I usually cry myself to sleep away from prying eyes. We met up a little later with Booty Shop D and other awesome people but we never really recovered from that low point.
Back to the future....
Lbo's actual birthday was the bomb. I started the after work festivities with 3 scoops of Alphabet Scoop ice cream; life is much more beautiful through the ice cream lens. Things were even better after having some black spaghetti at Max's. Not even the bitchiness of the host could put a damper on the day. Oh and then there was Big Buck Hunting. Pkilla was nice enough to take some embarrassing shots of us.
