Mustard Prawns

I went to the V. Sattui winery in Napa this weekend and had the most delicious Mustard Prawns from their deli section. In my drunken state, I forgot to take note of the ingredients in the dish. A quick google search fixed that and I was able to replicate the dish almost exactly! I had this over orzo pasta and it was molto bene!

Garden Update

After 3.5 months, all I got was 5 measly tomatoes. And only 2 were edible! Yes, I know the photo is upside down. No, I don't care.
