    Those looked perfectly cooked. You should find a copy of Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking. I think you would find it interesting. And the recipes are delicious.

    Paper plates are so much easier, don't need to clean them. Also ramen is pretty good sometimes though.
    Yeah, im surprised how well I cooked them for being mildly intoxicated when cooking them. I'll have to check that out, though I don't do too much cooking. Scallops are pretty easy, and require minimal ingredients, time, and effort. Plus only used 2 things to clean, the pan and tongs

    Yeah, you need to add pork belly and seaweed first

    An easy but decadent way to cook scallops is in deep butter (butter poached). Get a small sauce pan, unless you want to use A LOT of butter, and melt enough butter to cover the scallops. Put a couple crushed cloves of garlic in there and heat until it's ~150f (I do between 140f and 160f). Drop in seasoned scallops and cook for about 4 min. You want it to be medium-rare inside.

    Edit: just realized it's the first post of this thread

    Can the butter be recycled into something else?

    Yes, i tend to put it back in the fridge and use it again when cooking seafood. Either poaching again or just as you would use butter normally. Also good for a lemon-garlic sauce with fish.

    I tried this, but I realized I didn't have a small sauce pan or any garlic, so I just cooked them in a bit of butter with some itallian seasoning. Still good.
    Enjoying with some Singleton scotch.

    @Cspirou

    I get the feeling I should not have visited Bretagne last year, I should have come this year an invited myself to this galette au boudin noir.

    Yep, you messed up. Did you at least get oysters?

    (No pic but I opened up 4 dozen last week)

    Stayed at Saint-Malo for two weeks and yes when I am in France near the sea I always have oysters at least once. This time a dozen no 2 creuses from the local market.
    Another must the local food markets. Normal ones are already head and shoulders above most markets in Germany.

    Screw the Impossible Burger- My Ostrich burger is much lower in fat and probably has less Roundup and GMO Soy than the hype train burger.

    Today's take included Ostrich, smoked sea salt, pepper, feta, avocado, onion, zucchini, tomato, mustard and ketchup. Kind of messy but tastes great. And it costs less.
