First Annual Saint Valentine's Day Shrimp Boil And Sweetheart Ball

On February 14th, 2008, Alice and I hosted the First Annual Saint Valentine's Day Shrimp Boil and Sweetheart Ball. It was held at the Ranch in Rockport (Lamar), Texas. We were honored with the presence of three other couples who are camping friends we have met over the years at the Thousand Trails Preserve, Lake Tawakoni.

In this picture you can see that the shrimp is boiling quite nicely.

We stuffed ourselves on boiled shrimp; boiled corn and red potatoes. I also made some stuffed Jalapeno peppers on my new pepper rack, which is also pictured here. The peppers were cored and stuffed with cream cheese and a shrimp, then wrapped in bacon. I also grilled some Earl Campbell's hot sausages. Earl, of the Dallas Cowboys fame, puts his name on an excellent sausage. To top off the menu we also had green beans and a potato casserole. Fudge was for desert.

The pictures speak for themselves; everyone had a great time and Alice and I have started plans for the Second Annual Saint Valentine's Day Shrimp Boil and Sweetheart Ball.
