Nabilly Bob's Birthday

Wednesday was the hubby's birthday. Since his big day was in the middle of the week, and he still had to get up at 6:00am the next morning, we kept things pretty low key. Nabil got a new orbital sander from his awesome wife to help him finish all those home improvement projects, and a delicious homemade 26th birthday dinner. Nabil loves garlic mashed potatoes and seared scallops, so that is what we ate.

Steamed scallops for an appetizer. I steamed them in a red wine and garlic sauce. Delicious.

Seared scallops are also one of my favorite foods, so we make them for many of our "fancy" meals. This time, I tried something a little different. Usually I sautee the scallops in a white white and garlic sauce. This time I used a sauce that consisted of red wine, brown sugar, homemade roasted garlic paste, and a pad of butter. I also wrapped the scallops in prosciutto. I think this works better than bacon. It cooks and tastes better than bacon.

Yum!

Cooked to perfection

...until next time.
