Scallops wrapped in bacon. YES, please

Now I have to make another trip to Trader Joe's.  I wanted to try these treats to see if I liked them well enough to serve them to Christmas day guests and then I ate them all right out of the oven! Oink oink. They come a dozen to a box and then you pop them free and clear of all packaging in a 450-degree oven for 8-10 minutes on one side, flip them and a bit less than 8 minutes on the other side. (Bottom shelf of the hot oven.) When the bacon is crisp you know they are fit for a king, although my king did not get a taste.

I figure I will buy 3 boxes for Christmas Day.  That along with an antipasti platter should be enough before I introduce them to a beautiful prime rib boneless roast. Ahhh, the holidays.  I dread and love them at the same time.  Once I get into the mood, however, look out.

We've just been to Sam's and I must say it was delightfully empty of customers.  However, by check-out time people were pouring through the doors with holiday written all over them.

I have a lot going on in the kitchen and the cleaning crew is due at 2:00.  They will have plenty to do today. I'll take that time to go to Trader Joe's to see what kind of trouble I can get in over there with some of his new products.

We asked our three-year-old great-granddaughter where she would like to go and she said to Trader Joe's.  The apple does not fall far from the tree at Trader Joe's.

To the doctor

We are off to the doctor to have Andy checked out since he has had two falls.  We thought to wait until his appointment on the 20th, but aft...
