What’s the occasion? No occasion! Sometimes it is just nice to treat yourself to an out of the ordinary dinner. Tonight’s dinner was fried scallops and tartar sauce with steamed new potatoes and broccoli salad. It was really good!

Fried scallops with new potatoes and broccoli salad

In lunchtime news I used our new Instant Pot to make celery soup. A head of celery, an onion, a potato, an herb, and some stock or water along with a little olive oil are the ingredients. After sauté-ing the onions, I added the rest of the ingredients and pressure cooked it for 10 minutes. I used a stick blender to purée the soup and then I adjusted the seasonings. Voila, a tasty lo-cal soup!
