The hottest day of the year = SCALLOP dinner!

As most of you may know, this past weekend in New England was quite the scorcher! As indicated in the picture below, it became quite steamy and unbearable.

Temperature Friday night
 So, once I was home from work on Friday night, I decided I was NOT leaving the sweet modern convenience of air conditioning again! I decided instead to make some scallops with pasta for dinner :)
Scallops in oil with garlic powder
 As this was an impromptu dinner, I did not have any garlic cloves to cook with, so I settled for using some garlic powder (which I typically reserve for lasagna). It wasn't as good, but it was decent for a last second substitution.


I boiled some whole wheat pasta....


Then added some spinach to cook with the almost ready scallops....

Stay Frosty
One has to have a sense of humor, so I used my winter cookie plate for my dinner. I was trying to think cool thoughts :)





Ta-da!
