    Dark Miniatures at BJs for about 1/2 the price per pound as these new little packages.... Guess that's what I'll be doing when the current supply gets low enough to buy more... and there might even be a BJs
    coupon to drop the price another $2 or so by then....
    And the poor get poorer. And the poor in judgment
    get poorer still.
    Indeed...

    I'm torn between the need to take care of the
    weaker (coddling them, if you will) and thinking,
    oh, let them suffer. We do have some kind of
    responsibility for those stupider than ourselves.

    though, I will try getting either the katsudon or the oyakidon with the dark meat... :)
    Confounding everything he's learned about the
    tastes of the dining public. Perhaps you could bring
    your own protein?
    Probably only confirming his observation that we aren't the general
    dining public... And I don't think there would be a need to bring our
    own protein....

    If you wanted ostrich katsu ... but then chicken
    thighs are not much closer to the tastes of the
    general clientele.

    The Tweedle twins' relative, no doubt.
    ... Combining scallops and butter is basically never a bad idea.
    Nohow! Contrariwise!
    Dee and Dum... ;) Speaking of scallops.... went with my friend Karen
    back to Chen Garden (where I found the shrimp toasts)... looked for
    anything with orange, particularly orange beef and scallops, to no
    avail... So I guess they don't have the drum of sweet red sauce back in
    the kitchen... (G) What I did get was scallop mixed vegetables in white sauce... the scallops were big and not overcooked... and practically tasteless.... sigh... Wegmans has sweeter scallops than those were...

    They are really hit-or-miss - the frequency of encountering what
    I describe as shellfish Jell-O is dismaying.

    Cocoa dusted seared scallops
    Categories: shellfish, starter
    Serves: 4

    2 Tb cocoa powder
    1 ts allspice
    1/8 ts chili powder

    12 scallops
    2 Tb olive oil
    1 Tb chopped fresh parsley

    Combine the dry ingredients

    Rinse the shelled scallops, trim if necessary
    then slice each in half horizontally, keeping
    the corals intact.

    Dredge scallops in the cocoa rub.

    Heat 2 Tb oil in a heavy pan. Add the scallops
    and corals and sear briefly,1 min on each side.

    Serve hot on a bed of green leaves such as rocket.

    Chances are that I'll be back there at some point... But I'll probably
    refrain from getting scallops again there... There were some other
    intriguing offerings....
