Scallops

I decided on this easy but delicious starter to accompany this evening's meal with my children. I'm happy to announce that they enjoyed it, lucky pumpkins. So why not try it for yourself as a treat?

Fry scallops in a tablespoon of olive oil plus a little butter for three to four minutes. You can accompany with fresh herb salad or in my case with mint pea purée (mint and pea purée can be found under scallops and bacon strips recipe, previously posted).

Barbeque Sauce Recipe

After making my Barbeque Sauce, it was only fitting that I use it today and what better way to enjoy it than to slosh it on the pork ribs and chicken for dinner tonight? 

My my husband has now stated that we should stop visiting the Rib Shack if I can make a Sauce this good. JUICEY!!
