scallop

i found this picture in my phone while uploading the pictures of the yam cannoli's...

the last time my dad visited we cooked dinner for my mom and Marcela, as usual, and we made a potato soup to be used as a "sauce" for a couple large scallops. unfortunately the soup turned out a little thick and didn't present itself the way i hoped for. so, i made it again the following weekend but i only had enough scallops to put one on the plate. it definitely still could use some garnish to provide some color, but i think this makes a great course in a multi-course menu. i really like little serving pieces when doing multi-course menus, but i think serving a tiny course on a huge plate provides a unique contrast that just looks great. the only bad thing is when, like me, you have a very tiny kitchen and no place or time to deal with dirty dishes!!!
