desperanceTonight's dinner will be a shrimp salad with mushrooms and bacon and broccoli and French beans and spinach leaves and asparagus and avocado and baby tomatoes, all tossed in a lemon and garlic dressing. I invented this last weekend, and it was delicious, and on the way to the store just now I was just thinking "if I ever do write that cookbook, I'm totally putting this in; I wonder what I should call - oh, wait..." as I remembered that there was a word already, and it was salmagundi and I hadn't really invented it at all.
Still. There is nothing new under heaven, Horatio, tho' an endless number of things; and this one has no anchovies, because my heretic wife cannot abide the anchovy, so it's barely a proper salmagundi anyway; so I shall call it a shrimpagundi and put it in my putative cookbook anyway. Which will almost certainly remain putative to the end of days anyway, so.
