    Leftovers for dinner in the Bahamas

    Fished some lobsters in the Bahamas. Grilled the first night with butter, onions, and sweet peppers. Second night, we took leftover grilled zucchini and eggplant, leftover lobster, some grape tomatoes - all sauteed with minced garlic and olive oil. Tossed with whole wheat spaghetti. Leftovers almost better than the first night’s gourmet lobster bake...

    commented on How to choose and sear scallops.

    Took your advice and seared some scallops. Unfortunately, here in West Texas, only wet scallops available. Added beautifully caramelized scallops (thanks!) to fresh arugula, Texas grapefruit sections, and diced avocado. Little drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, little grapefruit juice, fleur de sel, freshly cracked black pepper. Summer on a plate.

    baking with my son

    I love these moments with my son, baking cookies, reading novels, watching him lick the chocolate off his hands. This evening - peanut butter chocolate chip cookies and big chewy chocolate chip cookies. And a side of Riordan’s The Last Olympian.
