I wish I could hug you right now, Kristina. The void left from the loss of someone dear doesn’t really go away, does it? It’s lovely how we all find some sort of kinship with a ‘stranger’, and thanks to the internet we’ve found a way to connect virtually and yet be touched to our core.

Love the shrimps and I’d love to make that sometime. I love that you used fish sauce — so delicious.

What a touching remembrance of your stepfather. Very nice post. And I’ll have to try the curried shrimp, since I tend to love anything with shrimp!

I love the smell of fresh shrimp… like salt and the ocean. An upside of living not an hour from the Gulf Coast is the shrimp is really fresh!

Your stepfather sound like he was an AMAZING man… you are very lucky to have had that kind of influence in your life.

BRAVA!
Beautifully and touchingly done!
I too remember how vivacious Bart was, and I have also been lucky to speak (through a twitter meet) with Angela of spinachtiger. As difficult as the pain from the loss, I know that there is comfort in creating connections.
Your celebration of life through food is marvelous, and your photos are fabulous.

I said to myself if this helps one person who was left behind, it was worth it. You have so touched me and I am so honored to have been part of your grieving process. It never really ends does it? When people with “bigger than life” personalities leave us, there really is a hole. Your shrimp are gorgeous. Consider me a friend.
