Grandma Alma's Shrimp Rice Casserole ...p72

Ok, I admit it:  as a child, I detested when my grandmother made this.  You might think it was the shrimp or curry I disliked, but, nope!  It was the green peppers.  I must have been a "super taster."  But, thank God, I've changed. 

Curry, shrimp, almonds - and, yes, green peppers - what's not to love? 
You can combine all the ingredients as the recipe dictates for a nice family casserole, or you can copy my sister and leave the rice out - instead serving the shrimp curry over rice for a more elegant company dinner.  Try it both ways and let us know what you like.  The critic proclaimed it one of her very favorites.

Polynesian Salad with Pita Bread ...p31

Need a light dinner?  Make this one a couple hours (or longer) ahead to allow flavors to meld and don't skimp - buy the Major Grey's Mango Chutney - it really makes it.

Pita bread is usually found in the bakery section of the grocery store, but if you can't find it, eat on top of lettuce, or use a flour tortilla as a wrap.

Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures before we chowed down, but here's a quick snap of our lunch tomorrow ;-)  You can see from the pictures I like to add a little chopped cilantro also.
