    The definition of....

    SUCCULENT: (adjective) 1: Moist and tasty; Toothsome 2 : rich in interest
    This kind of a geographically specific post. Particularly for you lucky several who live in Portland and can get your appetites in to Café Castagna. We went last night, and right now they have the craziest app on their menu. Gambas...which is Spanish for shrimp...sauteed in various Spanish oils and spices, and served with citrus aioli and a few veggies. But the shrimp star here. They are perfect, and if you had put fifty of 'em in front of me, I would have eaten them all! At about $7 a serving you'd best be getting 'em while you can!
