Scallops

Dennis talked JoAnn into taking him to Byerly's yesterday to pick up some "Dennis" food. I found three jars of applesauce, to fulfill his latest craving, in the pantry, but thankfully no new cereal boxes. Naturally the freezer was filed to the brim with ice cream. Then, I found the mother lode in the fridge.

He bought scallops.

When Dennis and I first became a couple, he cooked occasionally. He had a few specialties he would create and he took pride in each dish. One of those special meals was scallops. His scallops were always melt in your mouth delicious.

He hasn't made scallops in at least 3 years.

Dare I hope? Was Dennis planning on making a dinner?

Yes, I dare hope. At this very minute, Dennis is cleaning the pan to sear and sizzle the huge darlings. This is the same pan that Raquel uses to make Dennis' scrambled eggs. She is young as does not know how to clean. We are teaching her, slowly. Suffice it to say, we often clean the pots and pans before we use them for a new meal.

We had decided earlier today that we would eat dinner around 5:00. We had a decent sized breakfast around 9:00, so 5:00 seemed to be our next getting hungry time.

It is 4:30.

I just turned around and noticed the water in the kitchen was running, but there is no Dennis to be found. This is going to take much longer than I anticipated.

Thankfully, Dennis and JoAnn bought that bag of Milky Ways for all of our non-existent trick-or-treaters yesterday.

Until Tomorrow,
Ann and Dennis
