Shrimp, mussels, and secrets

Today he fixed us a completely scrumptious and rich dinner of shrimp and mussels in a lime, garlic, and cumin sauce. The bread was extra crispy for dunking, and we had broccoli on the side. It was so rich and delicious, I couldn't even finish mine, and that's saying something.

Last night's dinner was so light and fresh:

scallop ceviche with cherry tomatoes, red onions,
fresh cilantro, and lots o' lime juice

steamed, plump mussels with lots of great bread to dip in the
delicious lemony mussel-ly juices

Plus the rest of the Greek salad, not pictured here.....because really, you've already seen our yummy Greek salads.

A great summer supper -- mussels in lemon and garlic, and a big cobb salad full of avocado, fresh tomato, bacon, boiled eggs, shredded blue cheese, and lettuce:
