I’m thankful for seafood. All kinds of seafood. Hubby and I don’t go out much in the wintertime, but when the weather gets better we hit our favorite seafood places to feast on seafood. We love just about anything that comes from the sea.

I’m thankful for clam chowder and garlic bread to go with the seafood. Perhaps a nice glass of wine too. It’s the perfect meal.

What are you thankful for today?

    Wades favorite place to eat used to be Red Lobster. I like seafood but not all of it. I just can’t do clams or oysters but I love fish, shrimp and lobster.

    I like seafood, fried! haha….you know, breaded and dipped in oil! Seriously, I eat seafood but that is not my fave food. Wine, yum. I have had some really good times with wine…haha. Seriously, I hardly ever drink. I used to love wine but then I started to have some major headaches and a couple of times it set off my asthma, sulfites in the wine. I will join you any day with a meal of seafood and maybe a glass of tea.

      I don’t have to have wine, but I often do have a glass with my meal. Tea is good too. 🙂

    Oh My Cod! We LOVE seafood! Mom so misses living by the ocean. The thing she misses the most about living here in the middle of nowhere is fresh seafood. Sandee you are a lady after her own heart! (She loves boating too). We are especially thankful for you dear furrend. We love participating in the hops and we love your comments! Marv sends whisker kisses and head butts!

    Seafood!! Always a winner here. The cats love it but dislike shrimp. I love certain seafood but calamari, oysters and clams I can do well without. Although smoked oysters are pretty good. All I taste is the smokiness of them so they’re grweat. hehe

    My mother did most of the meal prep when I was growing up…wait, strike that…when I was a child.
    However, my father made terrific scrambled eggs every Sunday, and once or twice a year, he’d make fish stew.
    Boy oh boy, that was good, yummy stew.

      Hubby makes fish stew and it is delicious. Now I want some of that too. 🙂

    Most people here love seafood, too. It’s plentiful (although not cheap any longer).

    Hope you and Mr. Zane have a restaurant plan for the weekend!

    While I don’t like most fish and seafood, my boys and husband love it. I remember taking the boys to Red Lobster for their birthdays back when the only thing you could get there other than fish was bread and salad, so that would be my meal on those trips.

      You either like seafood or you don’t. Nothing wrong with that. Happy weekend. 🙂

    Sandee,

    Mmm, that’s some good thankfulness! We’re beginning to rethink vacation this year and are making semi-plans to try to get away this fall which has me excited. We’ll wait to see how things play out over the next few months but I think the pandemic restrictions are on the verge of being lifted for which I can’t wait for that to happen. It’ll be nice for life to go back to normal again. All it takes is using common sense to avoid sickly people and to keep your hands away from your face while in public. Of course washing your hands is a must all the way around no matter what germs are floating around. Stay safe and be well, my friend!

      Sandee says:

      I’m seeing the same thing. We’re in Pittsburg right now and things are open. We went to a restaurant last night and sat inside. Haven’t been able to do that for over a year here. 🙂

    Oh, that sounds so good! Unfortunately, I’m allergic to shellfish. Luckily I do like a good haddock or whitefish though. 🙂

      Being able to go places is a good thing indeed. We had a nice weekend on our boat and enjoyed some good food while dining indoors. Hugs back, my friend. 🙂
