Shrimp Piccata.
Whenever I was in Dana Point California, there was a small Italian Restaurant where I always ordered the Shrimp Piccata. It’s been closed for about 10 years now, but I always remembered how this was one awesome dish. Here’s a recipe that’s similar.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain.
Heat olive oil and butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add shrimp, mushrooms, and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add artichokes, lemon juice, capers, and white wine. Cook and stir until shrimp is tender and mixture is bubbling, about 10 minutes.
Spoon shrimp piccata over individual beds of pasta. Season with salt and pepper.
Use any pasta you prefer.

Getting the Gardens ready for winter. Well planting time’s over and this was a so so year. Sure had a ton of Tomatoes and green bell peppers. But the Cantaloupe and Watermelon not so good. Cucumbers were also so so. Garlic and onions were awesome. But now it’s time to get the gardens ready for next year.
I’m going with only two gardens plus sharing another. My first garden will be something new for me. It’s my tree, garlic, onion, and berry garden. I’m going with a Lemon, Orange, Peach, Plum, and Nectarine trees.
This garden will be the shared garden. Tomatoes, Watermelon, and Cantaloupe.
And finally my world famous ghetto garden. This year I’m changing the name to the Fred Sanford Garden. This will be strictly a vegetable garden. Last year I went with heirloom seeds. Next year we do the plants.
Wish me luck.

We love our black accent pieces. We tend to use black chairs and tables in our decorations. Some of the pieces are seasonal and some are year round. I can’t take credit. My wife usually picks out the items and we will then either restore them or change them all together.
Some of the pieces are Antiques, some Vintage, and some are just cheap pieces of furniture that add that special touch.
The ugliest piece we ever bought. Paid $3.00. I couldn’t do anything with it.

CBS revealed the trailer for their first-ever international edition of NCIS on Wednesday, teasing fans for what’s to come on the upcoming NCIS: Sydney.
“What was once the far side of the world is now the most contested patch of water on the planet,” a voice says in the trailer.
“Our two nations — NCIS, AFB (Australian Federal Police) — stand shoulder to shoulder to ensure this vast swathe of ocean remains peaceful,” the voice continues.
“With rising international tensions in the Indo-Pacific, a brilliant and eclectic team of U.S. NCIS agents and the AFP are grafted into a multinational taskforce to keep naval crimes in check in the most contested patch of ocean on the planet,” the show’s press release reads.
NCIS: Sydney is the fifth series to join the NCIS franchise, joining NCIS, NCIS: Hawaii, NCIS: Los Angeles and NCIS: New Orleans.
“NCIS is one of the most popular series in the world and we’re thrilled to expand this franchise with a uniquely Australian twist,” Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment, said via press release. “Featuring the stunning backdrop of Australia, the new series will incorporate the high-stakes intrigue, humor and camaraderie that have kept fans captivated by the NCIS teams for over two decades.”
The series will star Olivia Swann as NCIS Special Agent Michelle Mackey and Todd Lasance as her 2IC AFP counterpart, Sergeant Jim “JD” Dempsey. The protagonists are joined by Sean Sagar as NCIS Special Agent DeShawn Jackson; Tuuli Narkle as AFP liaison officer Constable Evie Cooper; Mavournee Hazel as AFP forensic scientist Bluebird “Blue” Gleeson and William McInnes as AFP forensic pathologist Dr Roy Penrose.
NCIS: Sydney will premiere on Nov. 13 on CBS, airing just after the original NCIS.

Little League World Series: California’s El Segundo wins title with walk-off home run vs Curaçao.
California’s El Segundo is bringing home the Little League World Series championship title after a 6-5 victory over the team from Willemstad, Curaçao, on Sunday.
The thrilling game ended with a walk-off home run from Louis Lappe, who was given a perfect setup from the booth by ESPN broadcaster Karl Ravech.
With the score tied in the sixth inning, Lappe stepped to the plate.
“Curaçao has not allowed a home run at the World Series,” Ravech said in an announcer jinx for the ages. Almost instantly, Lappe, the series’ home run leader, sent one flying for the win.
California has been in the championship game 24 times and now has its eighth title. The region has the most victories by any U.S. team but hadn’t won since 2011.
The team had some of the best bats in the tournament, including Lappe and Brody Brooks. En route to the U.S. title on Saturday, Lappe had five RBIs, including a three-run homer as California beat Texas 6-1.
But Curaçao didn’t go down without a fight. Having appeared in the LLWS championship four times, the team was hoping for its first win since 2004 — its only title. Last year, the team made it to the championship game and lost to Hawaii 13-3. Five of its players returned from last year’s disappointment, the most in the tournament.
Down 5-1 in the top of the fifth, Nasir El-Ossais showed the grit of a seasoned veteran. With two outs, he tied the game 5-5 on a dramatic grand slam to right field off Max Baker.
“I am sweating right now, and not from the heat,” El-Ossais’ dad said after the play, adding that emotions were at an all-time high.
Curaçao overcame a big deficit thanks to El-Ossais, but California’s pitching strength and defense won it. Brooks, a shortstop and strong pitcher, tied the World Series record by scoring 13 runs. On Sunday, he had a single and finished the tournament with 12 hits and three home runs.
In a tear-filled postgame interview, El Segundo manager Danny Boehle said he told his team “the game’s not over.” He was surprised Curaçao pitched to Lappe, who said he was close with the Curaçao players and offered kind words after hitting the winning home run.
There was plenty of sportsmanship all over the stadium in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania. “Great job, keep your head up,” Lappe recalled telling the opposing team.
California also posed for photos with Japan after the victory:
El Segundo’s players will go back to school soon, and they’ll have plenty to share with their classmates. Throughout the tournament, they were sent positive messages from the likes of Los Angeles Lakers’ and multiple Los Angeles Dodgers stars.
On Sept. 10, they will be celebrated in their hometown with a parade.
