Last night, I lay awake last night obsessing about spaghetti squash. That actually wasn’t the only thing I was thinking about. I was thinking about the scallops in the freezer that were beginning to freezerburn. I was also thinking about the fact that I had bacon. Grilled, bacon-wrapped scallops! So, I got up and put those items in the fridge to thaw. <\/p>\n
While visiting my hairdresser, we talked about my biking down to the farmer’s market and the spaghetti squash I bought there. She asked if I’d be making it with garlic. WHAT? I can do that? Any time I’ve cooked it before, I filled it with butter and either honey or brown sugar and baked it. Today though, I took the quicker, much more savory, approach. Split the squash in half and cleaned out the seeds. Placed it cut side down on a plate and microwaved for 7 minutes. While that was cooking I started some butter and garlic browning on the stove. When the squash was done, I fluffed it and scooped it into the butter mixture, then stirred in a wee bit of salt. <\/p>\n
The green beans came from a can. I just added a spoonful of bacon grease and microwaved them for 4 minutes.<\/p>\n
Sparks grilled the skewered scallops and bacon. The one drawback was that they took over twice as long as any of the websites said. This meant that the vegetables were cold by the time we got to them. However, it gave me time to mix up a quick lemon herb sauce. <\/p>\n
The first bite of scallop was so yummy that I immediately jumped up and went over to kiss Sparks! <\/p>\n
And hey – a picture!<\/p>\n
