Much food prep this weekend. First, for tomorrow night, I’m doing fancy shrimp and grits, or as the recipe puts it:

> **[Spicy Garlic Lemon Butter Shrimp](https://www.halfbakedharvest.com/spicy-garlic-lemon-butter-shrimp/)**
>
> Spicy Garlic Lemon Butter Shrimp with parmesan corn polenta...topped with fresh basil and served with crusty bread and a big arugula salad!

Though I’ll make it my own by adding a bunch of diced, roasted green chiles to the polenta, and more cayenne to the shrimp.

Sunday, I’ll do the test batch for the 4th of July at the in-laws, so mixed berries (raspberry and blueberry) topped with some [Everlasting Syllabub](https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=CQksGGtDB2w) from Tasting History. It’ll be red, white, blue and alcoholic, so perfect for the holiday. Test batch of course, in case it doesn’t quite work, so we can fix it or pivot to something else.

Tonight? Tonight is World of Warcraft night with the friends, so I’m just making a roast chicken sandwich with onions and green chile on a decent store telera roll.
