Tonight was shellfish night. And what a shellfish night it was!
Three words: bacon-wrapped scallops. I ask you, does it get any better than that?

2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten.
3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.
4) Optional: Post a comment at Very Good Taste, linking to your results.

This was such an easy dinner to make. It’s perfect for a summer evening — and it’s GAPS legal (if you are at the point where you can do cheese, that is — if not, skip the cheese).
The pork is from Rocky Canyon Farms here in Southern California and the tomatoes and basil are from [...]
