Are you scrambling to put together Thanksgiving dinner like I am? I was all hum-bug about it until this morning because I am the ONLY person in my family who likes turkey. And since it’s just us four this year and not the usual gigantic family reunion of turkey lovers, I was ready to skip it. <\/p>\n I had a major change of heart last minute, when my husband announced he was going fishing at 4:30 A.M. on Thursday to bring back crabs. A Dungeness crab Thanksgiving? Woot! Woot! Why not?!?! <\/p>\n So, what to cook for this unconventional last minute fish feast? I’m starting with this hot scallop appetizer. It’s a super quick and easy dish broiled or barbecued on the half shell with a splash of white wine, saffron cream and crispy pancetta topped with crunchy fried croutons (seared in the pancetta fat) and chives. And yes, you can use frozen scallops \u2013\u2013 choose U-10’s if there’s an option, they are the biggest in size. <\/p>\n The rest of the meal will include a butternut bisque, a brussel sprout slaw and at least ten crabs. Really! Ten! I’m promised Ten! <\/p>\n Since I’m not doing the pie trifecta this year (pumpkin, apple, pecan), I’ll be making my Mom’s signature poached pear tart which I have never made before. Stay tuned, should be interesting!<\/p>\n Have a cozy and delicious Thanksgiving my friends. I know the holidays can be stressful and I just wanted to say ‘Thank You’ for being in my corner these many, many years! <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/figure>\n
