New Year's Eve at home in Naples

Our daughter Marla and her hubby David and 3 daughters joined us for a week of fun and chasing around.

Kids went to sleep before the good stuff came out.

3 lbs of large stone crabs.

Gotta breath the wine and filets.

Barb's Greek salad. Onions and olives added individually for our picky eater.

Filets done right. Also Martha F-in Stewarts recipe for Roasted Fingerlings.

And a homemade mushroom sauce with wine. 

Roasted zucchini and tomatoes with herbs.

Bad picture of happy people.  

Happy, healthy New Year to all.

Seafood dinner at home

We decided to stay in for a dinner.  Needed to scare up some goodies, so we went to Marco and hit a few perveyors:

Lee Be fish for loch of fish tacos and Yellowfin tuna to go.

Publix for 65 cent local oysters, some supprasata and Camembert.

Kirks fish store in Goodland for Stone crabs.

Proud to say I shucked them myself (with a little help from my friend).

Nice accompaniments.

Hummus as intermezzo?  Why not?

Seated a lb of Yellowfin tuna and served with wasabi and soy sauce.

The coup de gras: Stone Crab claws.

The requisite dessert.  Wonderful meal. Much cheaper than obtainable in a restaurant.  Much fun.
