Mango Salsa, Sweet and Spicy Salmon, and some succulent Shrimp!

Im coming at you with 3 recipes today!  Well…. They all go hand in hand, so I couldn't with hold any from you!  Joe and I LOVE seafood.  But lets face it, its not the cheapest food out there.  We like to buy the bags of the un-cooked frozen shrimp when they are buy 1 get 2 free,  that’s a good deal! We will typically get the salmon when its on sale.  We did have trout a few weeks ago, bummer I didn't get a picture of it because it was DEELish!  I see that being a recipe in the future.

So what else is new around here.  We adopted a new kitty!  Full grown kitty… his name is Milo.  We thought Bynx needed a friend, and friends of mine couldn't keep Milo anymore = Match made in heaven?  However, the introduction has been a bit rough.  Milo REALLY wants to be friends and wants to do everything and be EVERYWHERE Bynx is.  Bynx is just not sure how he feels about it.  Bynx is an old man, and may be a bit set in his ways.  Sometimes Im not sure if Milo is playing or if he's getting jealous.  He flips a switch like no other!  We are working on it, time will tell.  But we are hoping Bynx allows us to keep Milo!  I like to sing "We are Siamese if you Pleeeaasseee" to them.  Its fun.

Bruins are moving to the next round!  After 7 games, with the last being the most intense hockey game ever, we are still in it.  Now if the Red Sox could get their groove back……  

Alright, enough babble.  Now for the Recipes!
