After our first lunch outside on the deck I felt compelled to work on my MBA course for next sememster -- don't ask me why this desire came over me, probably it was because I've been reading Pfeffer and Sutton's Hard facts dangerous half truths & total nonsense: Profiting from evidence-based management, HBSP 2006. This book would make a good framework for the course, but so too would a couple of other texts. I set out a comaparison matrix for EBM against a competency approach, but the only thing I decided was that I couldn't use two frameworks. I put everything aside until the spirit moves me again! (August maybe?)At lunch time Jack and I discussed going for our first "shakedown sail." But the surface of the water showed signs of "Indian wind" -- "a-pache here, a-pache there" -- and indeed, by 3 PM it was a flat calm. Maybe tomorrow.
The brown apron came out before dinner when we tried the shimp scampi (p. 386 in The 75th edition New Joy of Cooking) that Sue served last time we visited the Burlington, MA, gang. As promised, we experime
nted with different kind of shrimp. The verdit -- a good recipe no matter what the shrimp! The frozen bagged shrimp at 1/3 the price of that in the fishmonger's display case was almost as good as the higest priced ones. I tried to get a variation in shrimp size, but I couldn't tell the differenece beteween medium and large shrimp. Obviosly more trials are needed!
