O,

If you had to choose one - which one would it be:

A) Two front row tickets - home side of field over the dugout - to the NY Mets opening day game at Shea in 2008.

B) 12 scallops - wrapped in crisp bacon - and bathed in a nice garlic mushroom cream sauce.

C) An autographed picture of Yadier Molina.

ooooooooooooo....

You offer an exceedingly tough choice, there, its.

As much as I love our Yadi, well, I've always got my DVD of game 7. Cool

Then you offer my two favorite things: baseball and good food.

Hmmmm...April 7 against the Phils, eh? I can never turn down a ballgame, even if it involves and Uppity Expansion Team. Wink

How about you and me at the game. You bring the scallops and I buy the beer? Big Grin
Woody,

Those babies are dry as a bone. No good.

Very simple:

Get some heavy cream - some grated parmesan reggiano - a pinch of basil - heavy dose of garlic powder - finley minced mushroom - and salt and pepper to taste. Warm this beautiful bath of a concoction up.

Use scallops - no bigger than a golf ball. Wrap the bacon - and cook at medium heat. You can precook the bacon a little before you wrap them on the scallops. You want to make sure the bacon is crispy as a critter when it is done.

Then you - very gently - lay the bacon wrapped scallops in the garlic/cream sauce.

Then you eat them like a rabid animal.

Mangia!!!

She gets none until she takes back the "Uppity Expansion" comments about my beloved Mutts - er...... I mean Mets.

Be glad to take it back....if I'm wrong Wink

uppity: "putting on or marked by airs of superiority" Let's see, they've been in the WS 3 times. One win, two losses. Sort of like, I don't know...the Orioles in that same time span? But with an NYC 'tude. Wink

expansion: Well, they are. Haven't even been around 50 years yet. We're not exactly talkin' the Reds here!

OK, its, your turn! Cool

Don't forget to pack the scallops in dry ice --- don't want any Chinese side-effects!
