Headed to a pot luck myself this evening. Low country red rice with shrimp is cooking.

900 pages! 

Got some frozen scallops at Costco. As with all frozen stuff I’m a little relieved when I thaw it and it smells good. These were really good.

Sautéed in butter and oil. Carrots with butter and maple syrup glaze. Lightly fried potato wedges. Microwaved the taters, cut them into wedges and quick fried in some butter. I like this approach—the inside is creamy, just a little crisp on the outside.

Should have oriented the scallops to the front of the plate for the pic. They look tiny back there.  😄 All was delicious.

Did you shock them in cold water to stop the cooking! That would shrink them for sure😂!

Speaking of cold water to stop cooking.  I have a method for great hard boiled eggs - for eating right now or deviled or whatever.

1.  Cold water to cover the eggs.

2.  High heat to bring water to a rolling boil.  Set timer for seven minutes when they start to boil.

3.  Reduce heat slightly but keep a decent boil going.

4.  Get a bowl of ice water ready.  When seven minutes is up, put the eggs in the ice water.  Let them set a few minutes.

5.  Start peeling at the fat end of the egg.  They peel great, they are more tender than most any HB egg I've had and the yolk is done and also tender.

Give it a try.  No joke.

Put eggs in cold water, bring to boil then turn off stove, cover with lid for 13 minutes then in ice bath.  I eat two every morning.   Never have green yolks.

I'm going to make Tarragon Chicken in white wine later today.  Saw it yesterday on Rachel Ray and this is the right kind of day for a dish like that.

It smells great.  Shout out to mopanfisher:  those carrots are in sprite!

I've been fighting a bad headcold lately and took a few days off work. Had some time to myself at home and thought I'd make something warm and a touch spicy to help clear everything out. served over some steamed rice and naan and with a carrot and zuchini mix in some tomato sauce to bring it all together.

Made some butter chicken that was a mix of 3 or 4 recipes I found online, how I usually do my stuff I look up as I like to take what seems to be common and what I like best from each individually.

Turned out great, even if I had to go to 3 stores looking for garam masala and never found any fenugreek. 3 days of eating on the stuff has proved its definitely worth making again. I love Indian food and the wife is indifferent. Since she liked this I'll get to sort that itch a little more often now. I was even told that may take the place of a few night's meals this winter that would have been pot roast or chili.
