This is my kind of recipe, although they took longer than 2 minutes per side. Still, very little work involved—a prerequisite for anything I cook. I keep this up, I'm going to make somebody a good little wi...nevermind.
Sea Scallops
(Recipe courtesy Cat Cora, Show: Kitchen Accomplished; Episode: Young Cook's Kitchen
16 medium diver scallops, cleaned
1/8 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for searing
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon finely chopped thyme
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups field greens
In a medium bowl, marinate the scallops with olive oil, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Let them marinate for 20 minutes.
Heat enough olive oil to lightly coat the bottom of a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the scallops. Cook quickly in each side until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove from the heat and place 4 scallops around a mound of greens. Repeat.
[Note: Sea scallops are not cheap, but a good choice if you are cooking for one. And if you are cheap.]

no can do. no eat sea food. and here i am surrounded by an ocean. what a waste. but no, can't do it. looks pretty, though. i'll pretend it's really mozzarella balls.
Looks good enough to eat. What, are all triathletes consummate cooks? (dc rainmaker's weekend post). In between working sleeping biking swimming and running there's cooking too?
Looks yummy! And just my kind of recipe.
I'll be right over. I'll even tuck you in.
