Yet another from the mysterious "DRSPAGHETI":
A man went to visit his 90 year old grandfather and while eating the
breakfast of eggs and bacon prepared for him, he noticed a film-like
substance on his plate. So he says,
"Grandfather, are these plates clean?"
His grandfather replies, "Those plates are as clean as cold water can
get them, so go on and finish your meal".
That afternoon, while eating the hamburgers his grandfather made for
lunch, he noticed many little black specks around the edge of his
plate, so again he asked, "Grandfather are you sure these plates are
clean?"
Without looking up from his burger, the grandfather says, "I told you
those dishes are as clean as coldwater can get them, now don't ask me
about it anymore".
Well, later that day, they were on their way out to get dinner. As he
was leaving the house, grandfather's dog who was lying on the floor
started to growl and would not let him pass. "Grandfather, your dog
won't let me out".
Without diverting his attention from the football game he was
watching, his grandfather shouted, " Coldwater, get out of the way!"

I remember the first time I cooked shrimp over hot coals and promising
myself that I would never cook shrimp any other way after that. I
haven't exactly been true to my promise, but grilling remains one of
my favorite ways to cook shrimp, and this recipe makes them even more
special.

Using a small pair of scissors or kitchen shears, snip open the backs
of the shrimp shells, leaving them on the shrimp. Combine all the
ingredients in a large bowl and toss to combine. Marinate for 10 to
30 minutes, refrigerated. Cook the shrimp on a hot grill for 3 to 4
minutes per side. Serve immediately. Serves 4 to 6.
