Less is More?
The concept "Less is More" and I just don't see eye to eye. Did you know that when you are shampooing your hair if you cannot get the shampoo to lather, you need to add more water, not more shampoo? I'm always piling on more shampoo! Oh - and those concentrated cleaning products where you just need to use a thimble full for an entire load of laundry? I have such a hard time believing that. To me, if I don't have a full measuring cup of laundry detergent to add to my laundry, I do not feel like it is going to work.
There are some things in which I truly believe that "Less is More" does not apply. Those things would have to do with butter, garlic and onions. No way could less be more. Yes...with butter less is more "fitting into your skinny jeans", but less butter does not make a dish any better.
I made a dish the other night that was a delicious combination of tons of butter, green onions and lots of garlic. Less was definitely not more with this dish as I added more garlic and green onion than the recipe called for and ended up with a completely wonderful meal.
If you are a believer of "Less is More" you might want to skip this recipe. If you believe that the more the better, than add a little extra of what you love to this recipe and enjoy!

LOL @ shampoo vs water!Yes,you need more water!:
Ditto on the concentrated anything.
Butter....I would like to think I wouldn't do that but then I remember tossing in an extra 'nob' on the beans last night..
Okay, guilty on all counts! Love the Scampi! More garlic, always...
less jelly beans means more sugar cravings, more jelly beans means tummyaches (ok, so less is more here and that is OK)
less butter is more sadness, especially in your cookies (not OK)
less garlic is more vampires (theoretically, and not OK)
less shampoo/toothpaste/soap means more showers/brushing/washing means more water so not OK
so....what have we learned? Less is NOT more!
Less does not = more when it comes to frosting on a cupcake, yum.
The dish looks delish!
Hugs!
