thanks! the scallops are super easy to make too.

i realized that pretty much all of these are fish dishes...i'll put up a shot of the braised chicken thighs that i made yesterday.

Those scallops look good. I have a big bag of frozen ones I bought at Costco that I need to cook up. I'm kind of a scallops noob. I've only made them once before.

Bravo! I'm sure they taste as good as they look, but they LOOK GREAT! good presentation and, of course, well shot!

Ahem.... :D

Got a load of apples we need to do something with.

ah, whoops!

slice 2 leeks (green parts removed) into ~1/4" sticks, cook w/ ~2 tbsp of butter (add s&p) for ~10 min until soft over med heat, stirring occasionally.

peel, core and thinly slice 4-5 granny smith apples. i used a mandoline but went too thin...keep to ~1/4" so they won't all go to mush.

add the apples, turn the heat down to low, cover and let set for ~20 min.

take the pan off the heat, and add in ~1/4-1/2 cup of heavy cream to the sides of the pan. let it soak it for a bit, then stir to combine.

sounds fantastic. I think I like the sound of the mashed up apples.

it's super easy and tastes good. watch the pan temp; i think it was a bit hotter than it should have been last time i added the cream and it clotted up a bit. still, once you mix it in i don't think it matters.

Had grilled chicken breast (with butter and rosemary stuffed under the skin), German butterball potatoes roasted in butter/salt/pepper, and asparagus cooked with fresh Morell mushrooms and butter.

That's the wife's cooking, though, tomorrow I'm on my own. Sheboygan brats and cube steak burgers with bacon, cracked pepper, and possibly some fresh bleu cheese.
