Eden and I met up with my soon to be sister-in-law and her friend at Whole Foods in Uptown to have lunch and shop. Ben and I like to try new things and we love seafood so I bought some Fresh Bay Scallops (among other things). I have to say they are our new favorite fresh shellfish.
I wanted to be able to taste the natural flavor of them so I sauteed them in minced garlic, butter and lemon juice. Oh my goodness they were so good. As a side dish I steamed some asparagus in my bamboo steamer. It was a light but very flavorful meal. They were so tender and small enough that we didn't have to use our knife.
To respond to Crystal's blog, as a part of our healthy living we like to try at least one new vegetable a month and one new seafood/meat every 3 months or so. This way we don't get burned out on eating veges and we acquire an appreciation for many different types of foods.
I'd like to try spaghetti squash next...

Spagetti Squash is great. We like to bake it until soft and toss it with a little butter, salt, pepper, and parmasean cheese.
hmmm. we have never tried scallops. seafood freaks me out sometimes, but i think it's just because i really didn't grow up eating it...
I love your plan to try new veggies, etc. Good stuff.
