Welcome to Awakenings

Life IS history in the making. Every word we say, everything we do becomes history the moment it is said or done. Life void of memories leaves nothing but emptiness. For those who might consider history boring, think again: It is who we are, what we do and why we are here. We are certainly individuals in our thoughts and deeds but we all germinated from seeds planted long, long ago.

Bivalves on the Half Shell

Want to make food look really tasty? Serve it up in a scallop shell! The shape, the size bring on thoughts of the ocean...seafood thoughts, that is! Fried shrimp, succulent lobster, baked snapper, crab legs, stuffed flounder, king scallops, queen scallops or a prawn cocktail...oh, my! Is your mouth watering yet? Well, get ready! The foodie celebration up for this day is getting scallopy by the minute! How about some bivalves on the half shell?

Oh, my! That looks good...really GOOD!
Scallops are a very popular seafood delicacy that can be found in all of the oceans and are a prized food source, plump and delectable. Being very low in fat, these meaty mollusks are delicious prepared in a variety of ways...sauteed, deep fried or in celebration on this day, baked! Baking them doesn't require much of the butter and fat that otherwise go into cooking this lean, white seafood.
