    Title: Asparagus 'n' Shrimp With Angel Hair

    While out of my current food budget, that looks delicious. I love both asparagus and shrimp.

    My usual way of getting shrimp - a thousand miles or so from their salt
    water homes is to wait until they've hist their "best by" (arbitrary)
    date and are put on deep discount. Take's home and sucky-bag freeze for
    future recerence. My problem would be is if the asparagus is fit to eat
    or if it's all "woody".

    I also love crabmeat...

    Title: Crabmeat-Shrimp Casserole
    Categories: Casserole, Seafood
    Yield: 8 Servings

    1 cn White crabmeat; drained
    1 cn Shrimp; drained

    Shrimp as above and if you don't have a good price on canned crab you
    can swap in "krab". I once was at the local Big Lots looking for a toy
    for a gift exchange when I spotted cans of crab marked at U$1/con. I
    cleaned the shelf. Never did get the big stuffed Teddy .... on that go.

    I wanted to pay up and disappear before someone woke up and 86ed the
    deal. Bv)=

    1/2 c Miracle Whip salad dressing

    I'd ditch the Miracle Wimp if favour of real Mayonnaise. Especially if
    I have Duke's on hand.
