The best thing I've tasted in years
Above is a photograph of something my wife made last night, baked scallops with a breadcrumb crust, topped with cream cheese and fresh parsley. Scallops à la Scout?
When I bit into it, and she was trying to ask me how it was, I couldn't help but shout "YOU MUST EAT IT NOW!"
It was absolutely one of the best things I've tasted in years. It was very flavorful and held many surprises. The rough texture of the breadcrumbs, the taste of toasted garlic, a bit of spice from the crushed red pepper, smokiness from the paprika, followed by the cold, smooth cream cheese and the refreshing parsley. I could've exploded on the spot. Stark contrast (temp and texture of cream cheese vs. warm breadcrumbs, dried paprika and peppercorns vs. fresh parsley), and yet everything went so well together. This should be in a restaurant.
I feel so proud of my wife
