We bought eight (should have bought more) and decided to prepare them two ways. My choice was Asian Noodles with Seared Sea Scallops. Continue reading »

Here in the sunny south we’ve been experiencing some big weather swings. Cold one day, hot the next. Seems that kind of shift leads you straight into flu and cold season. Yep, that’s right.
