I wanted to bring Jenn to a place we hadn’t been before for a great seafood meal, which she had been craving for a few weeks. Half Moon, located in Dobbs Ferry, New York, had been rated the best seafood restaurant by the readers of Westchester Magazine. “I can’t go wrong,” I thought.
Virtually empty when we arrived, we were seated in a sunny area with large windows facing the Hudson River. The evening sun really heated this section of the restaurant up as the meal progressed. By the time we were finishing dinner, we were seriously warm to the point of discomfort. Asking the waitstaff to regulate it yielded no results.

I hardly ever make shrimp anymore. I think it’s because after Ron and I started dating we probably ate shrimp twice a week. We just enjoyed eating it. Shrimp is one of those foods with which you can have fun switching up the flavor. I went through a period of no shrimp after a while for a few years, but all things culinary come in cycles. The other day at the fish market, I saw fresh jumbo shrimp, and it gave me the craving for my old shrimp salad.
