Super quick rundown with so little time. Time will be a factor for the busy cook tonight, so it will be a real shortcut, house-made crab cakes that are just $2.99 each at the current sale at Lucky's in Longmont. Better their house than mine for the making. Lundberg black japonica rice always a good side with that.
For Saturday, I'll grab some of those dry sea scallops that are $6.99 a pound this week at Sprouts for pasta with scallops, a longtime favorite recipe that came from the old Herb's meat and seafood market. Basic idea is simply to saute the scallops in a little olive oil, add some garlic and a bit of cayenne, then turn the whole thing into a pasta sauce by mixing in milk (cup and a half? - recipe not in front of me) shaken up in a jar with a well rounded tablespoon of flour. Simplicity!
I was hoping to do a scallop chowder from Cooking Light for Sunday but got outvoted in favor of a seasonal favorite from Bon Appetit's Christmas book that I haven't made in several years, smoky split pea and root vegetable soup. It's the Carolers' Warm-Up dinner in that book, which strikes me as unnecessary with temps expected around 60, but the family prevails. That book is so old, Bon Appetit doesn't have a link, but it looks like the recipe has been picked up here.
And that's all the time she has! Happy Friday the 13th.
