Pirates, Grouper or a Home Made Mouthwatering Meal

Wayne is an avid cook. He has been getting me interested in the Food Network (in addition to HGTV). Last week we were watching a couple of shows on the Food Network, Paula's Home Cooking and Semi-Homemade Cooking with Sandra Lee. Several of the recipes sounded great to both of us.

I had to work on Saturday morning and this weekend the pirates were invading Tampa as part of the Gasparilla pirate party. We were thinking about going over in the afternoon but the weather threatened a bit of rain, and the parking and crowds seemed a bit too much, so instead we were going to go to Frenchy's restaurant in Clearwater Beach to have grouper sandwiches. But those plans changed too as Wayne decided to try out the recipes from last weeks shows. He treated me to a homemade dinner of Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf from Paula Dean's Country Comfort episode and Garlicky Green Beans from Sandra Lee's Comfort Food Zone episode. YUM! Then a chaser of his homemade gelato. Triple YUM!
