This shrimp tacodillas recipe is a cross between a taco and a quesadilla. They are crispy on the outside with a melty and cheesy interior. Top with sliced avocado, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, and hot sauce, such as Tapatio. Delicious and easy to prepare.

Lemon Syllabub
A syllabub is a deliciously light, creamy, sophisticated little dessert from days gone by. I first tasted it at a supper given by a lecturer in seventeenth-century literature when I was in college, and it took my taste buds right back to the Restoration. It can be prepared as either a parfait or a punch, but as it contains alcohol, you may not want to serve this to younger family members. Eat it with a small spoon — and savor it!
