Welcome to Awakenings

Life IS history in the making. Every word we say, everything we do becomes history the moment it is said or done. Life void of memories leaves nothing but emptiness. For those who might consider history boring, think again: It is who we are, what we do and why we are here. We are certainly individuals in our thoughts and deeds but we all germinated from seeds planted long, long ago.

Low in calories & De-e-e-e-e-licious!

In April, we celebrated Shrimp, Shrimp, Scampi, Scampi! Shrimp is on the menu again but this time not limited to just scampi. Did you know Americans eat more shrimp than any other seafood? Why not? Shrimp are low in calories and de-e-e-e-e-licious! Just remember above all..the little shrimpies are delicate and at their best when NOT overcooked! Get ready to bake, boil, broil, saute, stuff, fry or grill to your delight.

One of the most widely known social drinks is the margarita. So, why not marinate the shrimp before grilling & enjoy a crisp salad...
