Shish Kabob and Scorpions

I never make shish kabob, but Puddleglum does, and he does a great job with it. Sometimes he uses pearl onions, green peppers, cherry tomatoes and beef. Other times he has used chicken and tried different combinations. Here is a picture of his latest creation. He used large sea scallops, shrimp, pineapple, and maraschino cherries. Yum. He served it with rice and tater tots. Not what I would have chosen, but if you have little kids, it's a good choice. For future reference the only thing that would have made it better would be to go ahead and use onions too. Pearl onions would be good, or even squares of red onion or 10-15s would be yummy.

Also, I wanted to mention that I got stung by a scorpion Thursday night. I was wearing short pjs, and I jumped into bed. The next thing I knew I felt something like glass tearing into my skin on the front left side of my upper left thigh. I quickly jumped out of bed knowing something had got me and brushed around the area. Not seeing anything on me I pulled back the sheets, and there it was. It was one of the biggest ones we've seen. I yelled for Puddleglum. He was my hero. He grabbed my little pink house slipper and killed it. We were thankful to God because Baby had been in our bed earlier in the day watching a video.

The sting wasn't that bad. Puddleglum said that I probably was on top of it, and it didn't have a chance to grab a hold of me with it's pinchers. Again, thank God because then it could have been very bad. Speaking of scorpions, I'd like to remember one of my old favorite bands, the Scorpions. Wind of Change is a classic.
