Respect for The King

   It looks as if I've not posted since Tuesday but that's not really true. I've been busy posting recipes from Tuesday's brunch and adding some pictures. I like to see what things should/could look like when complete so I like to take pictures. It's also a good reminder of something I might do differently next time. I don't claim to take awesome pictures of food and lots of time I'm disappointed in how my food looks in photos. Most things taste way better than they look but you'll just have to trust me on that one. All that being said you should check out the recipes under my "Brunch" post and look at the recipes and pictures. Be inspired to make one of them. You won't be sorry.

Diver Scallops, Sweet Pea Succotash, Maple Jus

   I have eaten some very yummy food this week. On Wednesday I had lunch with the girls from my Bible study at one of my favorite restaurants. The only option is to sit outside on the beautiful plant covered patio with herbs growing in mini pots as center pieces. They provide lap blankets for cool mornings or as cushions for those of us who need that extra padding. When the train begins to leave the adjacent station conversation stops while the train whistle blows. The place was bustling with couples and tables of people celebrating what looked like a birthday. People were talking and enjoying themselves but when our table of 10 stopped to pray before we ate, the whole patio went quiet as if to respect our moment before the King. I thought that was cool. But I digress. Diver scallops, sweet pea succotash with maple jus. Look at that picture. Oh heavens. Scallops cooked perfectly. This is one of those things I don't make a home much so I'm prone to order in a restaurant. I can hardly stand to go to a place that has something I make for dinner on the menu. I'm paying $ for something I can't or don't want to make and that list keeps getting shorter. I know, I'm doing that to my self. Oh well.
