Mollusks

Dinner tonight is going to be a bit more of a production than usual, for no particular reason.  I just had a good idea for a meal.  So I’ll be boiling, slicing, toasting, marinating, and grilling.  All at once (except not).  I am like the octopus.  I’ll have to be to make sure the timing is right.  (What does timing have to do with being octopus-like?  Shh.  You’re messing with the flow.  Suspension of disbelief!)

(No, Will, I haven’t been drinking.)

Menu:

  • Caprese salad
  • Grilled scallops (marinated with white wine, garlic, and olive oil)
  • Over angel hair pasta (tossed with a little butter, olive oil, garlic, parsley)
  • With garlic toast

Garlicky?  Um, yes.  If I just add some to the tomatoes, we’ll have garlic throughout.  Vampires are not welcome in this house!  I’ll let you know how it goes.

Missing my morning

I like early mornings.  I do.  They’re so fresh and there’s so much of the day to look forward to.  And then I go to work.  And while work is fine, I feel like I’m missing out on the morning!  It’s out there, outside my window, but I’m in here.

Poor me.
