Really, it’s been seven. What’s up with that? Oh, yeah… life. 
Ah, no rest for the weary. Anyway. Today I made scampi. It’s one of those fallback recipes for when life is super busy, school has taken up the majority of the day, and I haven’t been able to go to the store. Plus, scampi is full of flavor, and only has five ingredients. How can you go wrong with that?
