Yeah, got back out of the hospital last Tuesday afternoon  .... my second trip in September.   Doing better now after some additional rest, those trips can wear you down.  I'm trying to stay clear of those places,  I've lost about 13 pounds  in September alone without trying. 

I need to stay home and get some good grill food .... that will work !   All in all I'm doing good I'm actually a pretty good strong guy despite all of these tests and things.  Went to a doctor appointment today,  he was satisfied with everything  so doctor happy /  I'm happy.      period.  

And I have another doctor appointment tomorrow  on my birthday  and on top of that NO GUARDIANS GAME  an OFF DAY.  And I'll be 73 .... actually I'm in really good shape for 73.   No kidding  !   Oh well I'm keeping the insurance companies busy.    Catch you later syd.  

Edit ...   CLE 4  CIN 3 top 9 coming up. Clase coming in.

Hang in there !  I smoked cigars for over 50 years  in 2015 I just quit smoking cigars after getting out of the hospital that year.   I haven't had one since.

I just decided that I didn't need them besides  premium cigars that I smoked were getting just too expensive !

I now concentrate on really good eats !

This evening we had rice, tomato & lettuce salad with blue cheese dressing, crock pot slow cooked Mongolian beef and (Larry will appreciate this) a very fine 2015 Spanish red wine called Clio Jumilla which is 70% Monastrell grapes from 60 y.o. vines and 30% Cabernet from 30 y.o. vines. Excellent balance between the beef and the wine.

Alright gang, l bought some scallops. The big expensive kind. I love them but every time l make them l haven’t been super happy with the results. I’ve tried several recipes. Blackened scallops, bacon wrapped scallops, scalloped potatoes, which really has nothing to do with scallops so it’s no wonder l wasn’t happy with that recipe.

My question to you fellow Browns fan cooking enthusiasts is what’s your go-to recipe for killer scallops?

 Thank you in advance!
