Hell in the Pacific

Beth and I just got back from watching “Moon” at the Mayan down in Denver. I recommend it. Cool sci-fi movie on a modest budget. No explosions or transforming robots.

sauteed scallops over soba noodles

These aren’t the steps I followed the other night when I sauteed some scallops and served them over soba noodles.  But they are the steps I SHOULD have followed.  Next time I’m in the mood for some scallops, this is how I’m going to make them. Todd’s Sauteed Scallops and Soba Ingredients (for 2 servings):… Continue reading sauteed scallops over soba noodles
