So I did. I was just skimming over the ingredients list. Missed it.
Thanks, Tim.

It's because they didn't WRITE IT DOWN. They usually only write
down/remember what they charge money for, is my guess.

Overcooked they can be rubbery. It also depends on whether they are dry
pack or the cheap ones soaked in phosphate solution. I've never had them
without some texture. A good sea scallop is smooth, but chewable. Dry pack
can be eared on the outside too. The waterlogged ones won't sear.

I have with dialup.

How do you get 3 quarts of gravy from ONE cup of liquid?
Am I missing something here??

You can adjust the spices so they're the same, and most of the water ought
to be cooked out of the meat. But I'm with you on the nature of the fat;
beef fat tastes very different from pork fat. It *might* be possible to

what's the point? It's not like pork sausage is expensive. Hmm... I wonder

I have a problem with beets as well. My mom wasn’t a good cook but my
dad was worse.
When I was about 9 or 10 my mom was in the hospital and dad was “it”
for cooking. All I remember is sitting at the table and looking at a
purple concoction in a bowl. Then, looking over at my younger sister,

("Gelid" doesn't mean what you think it means, you pseudointellectual
poser.)
The main properties to look for with scallops are that they have not been
soaked in a phosphate solution to preserve them and that they are impeccably
fresh. Buying your scallops at Wal*Mart is a sure path to disappointment.

I hope you will teach my husband how to make scones. He loves them
but we have only had store bought on the boat. I don't think they are
