The last two-and-a-half weeks have been a whirlwind of smiles and happiness that I’d almost forgotten could exist. My DVR is so backed up that I’m not sure I’ll ever catch up on my shows and that, my friends, is saying something because I’m usually pretty anal about keeping the DVR cleared out. Exciting life I had, eh? Well, it certainly is now!! And, I get to cook for someone several nights every week. I love to cook, he loves to eat…perfect!!
The night I made these scallops, however, was not a night that J came over, so I had to send him a picture instead (I’m pretty sure I got called a food tease), and then packed up the leftovers for him to take to work.
While I enjoyed the scallops, we learned that taking scallops as leftovers for lunch is not the best idea. Microwave = tough scallops. Blech. I guess that just means I’ll have to make him some fresh ones soon, so he can see how yummy they really were!!! Other than them not searing well for me (too much butter in the pan, perhaps??) they were absolutely delicious!! Another Scallop win for the books!
