Pretty Good

I have not only not taken any pictures, I have not been very creative when it comes to cooking these last few weeks.  I made some great meals while I was in Florida, but since I've been home, mostly I've just been... well.. status quo. 
Today I went to the grocery store and browsed around contemplating what kind of vegetables I needed for the week ahead.  Of course I got my favorite staples... young green beans, lettuce for salads, vine ripened tomatoes, onions, baby red and orange peppers, asparagus... and what is this? endive.... ?
So I'm standing in the middle of the aisle just staring at this ridiculously expensive little package of endive and thinking .."I think I've seen some really cool bites on cooking shows"...   My brain is racing!  I'm remembering the shrimp leftover from last night and wondering how endive really tastes.  Then I remembered seeing a little decorative display by the leaf lettuce and sure enough it was some  endive that was not packaged.  I grabbed one!  I mean, how much could that cost, right?( exactly 0.15 lb @ $4.49/lb= $0.67)
At home, I separated the tight little leaves breaking off 6 of them and washing them.   I wrapped them in a paper towel and putting them back into the fridge to chill and crisp up.  I got out some shrimp, and since there is just Dad and me,  I used only 4 shrimp.    I cut them up into small pieces and put them in a bowl.  I cut up 2 spring onions, slicing them thinly and added them to the bowl.  Adding enough mayonaise to bind it all together like a shrimp salad, I stirred the ingredients well and then squeezed a little lemon juice into the mixture and stirred it some more.  It tasted very nice.  I cut a small tomato in half and then cut the halves into thin slices.  After the endive was chilled, I took them out and scooped a tablespoon of shrimp salad into each leaf.  On top of that endive leaf I put a slice of tomato.
The crispness of the endive and the creaminess of the shrimp salad with the succulant bits of shrimp and crispy green onions mingled into the mixture was ... can I say... sublime.
I'm sad to say that I did not take pictures.  But I will tell you, Dad immediately started shaking his head to the affirmative and ate every bite right up.  Then, without prompting (!) Dad said, and I quote, "Pretty good."
