Seared Scallops with Shaved Fennel, Cucumber and Grapefruit

Seared, charred, down right burnt and completely collapsed The remains of Union Fork and Hoe. All buildings in the middle and to one side are gone. The fire is out but curious locals still go up and down our road and park in our lot. The fire was ruled accidental and clean up will begin immediately. What a week, burning building and good running (so far). Good Running: I’ve done a nice recovery run, an excellent tempo workout, and a successful mid range run. Tomorrow is the weekly long run of 20 to 22. I’ll probably stick closer to 20 [...]

FOFF Thai Scallop Soup

Chef Carla Vavala offered a wonderful recipe for Thai Chicken Soup in her book Fusion of Food and Friends. I used all the wonderful flavors of that recipe but changed the focus from chicken to scallops. Nice! If I do say so myself. I used whole wheat egg noodles to really give the dish a healthy kick. Found on page 36 of the book “Fusion of Food and Friends” by Carla Vavala. 1 1/2 TBS olive oil 1 small onion, chopped 5 tsp minced garlic 1 1/2 tsp ground coriander 3/4 tsp ground ginger 1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper [...]

Sweet Pea Peach Salad Under Sautéed Scallops

Where did those commercials go? or don’t I watch enough T.V? I was selected in the Foodbuzz Tastemaker program for Green Giant products. A coupon for a free Green Giant product came in the mail and from the many varieties of natural vegetables offered, I chose Sweet peas. From Webster’s New World Dictionary of Culinary Arts: “Peas”- The edible seeds contained within the pods of various vines of the family Leguminosae; the seeds are generally shelled and the pod discarded; although available fresh, peas are usually marketed canned or frozen. What’s Pea Nutrition? Green Giant says… peas can be a [...]

Ant Attack and Bay Scallops

I was bound and determined to get back on track with my running schedule. I did a double workout today incorporating yesterdays speed work with todays easy 50 minute run. Was it tough? Oh yeah. Did I get it all done? Oh yeah. 64 minutes on the treadmill running 5 minute intervals with 3 minute rests at half marathon pace PLUS 55 minutes outside with Shane for an easy run. 13.4 miles. My bad leg is grumbling but the rest of me is fine. Would I recommend making up a missed workout to anyone else by doing double duty? No [...]

Scallops in a snap

Family walk this morning. It was a rest day for all of us. No running, no cross training, no weights. We went for a nice 4 mile walk with Shane. The morning was a mild 43 degrees until we turned to head home. The wind picked and chilled our faces. Still undecided on running distance tomorrow. The forecast says “showers likely”. The temperatures don’t look that great either but at least they aren’t in the teens. Do you know anyone running in the Boston Marathon? Easy Eats: Scallops are one of the easiest meals to put on the table. If [...]
