Last night we ate at the Club. It was not good. Butter basted monkfish was tasteless and ill-portioned. The quinoa and lentil “risotto” was not risotto. It was mush. It is too bad that we have to spend a minimum amount there each quarter. We need to go back to just ordering steak and potatoes. That they can do.

So on Sunday we have a reprise of the scallop dinner that we had on Thursday. I ask John to get a better sear on the scallops. He is afraid he might overcook them. He tries using a different pan which is not non-stick. The results are spectacular. The scallops are nicely seared and perfectly cooked. The collards and corn are great. The steamed new potatoes are also very tasty.
