Title: Shrimp Linguine w/Roasted Pepper Alfredo

Hooray, glad to read you are free and have a healthy appetite! What a coincidence that your nice niece made you a shrimp dish. Here's a
pasta recipe with shrimpy meatballs. The instructions are not clear to me.

I've *always* had a "healty" appetite. Bv)= As to why the instructions
leave a lot to be discovered - Dom DeLuise's day job is as a stand-up
comedian. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dom_DeLuise

For the meatballs: Mix all together very well. Leave sit in the ice box
for 10 minutes.

Using a teaspoon, make 1/2" size meat balls.

Put them in a skillet with a little olive oil. Cook until browned. Set
on a baking sheet, when baking sheet is full, put it in a 350ºF/175ºC
oven for 10 minutes. Repeat until all are done.

Check today's "Daily Five" As the day is April 1 there are 5 "fol"
recipes. You should be able to get the "gist" of making a "fool" and
adapt the concept to your home plucked fruit(s).

The freezer that holds/held the mysteries is moving to the garage
where my housemate will use it to stash his frozen pizzas, orange
juice concentrate, etc. I scored a slightly larger, self defrosting
upright freezer at Best Buy after researching the originms of their
"Insignia" house brand model. Underneath the private label it's a
Frigidare. Bv)=

To assemble the faces, place the pancakes on a plate, with eggs for
eyes, orange slices for ears and mouth, and a tomato half for the
nose.

Note:

For a lighter meal, omit the eggs and use apricot or peach halves for
eyes and half a fresh cherry for a nose. Or, omit pancakes, assemble
eggs directly on plate, and add a smile made from chopped, sauted
