Gee, I should have posted when I bought a second bottle of
Worcestershire sauce because I didn't remember how much was left in the
first bottle. Missed opportunity!

That's true of a lot of people. There are times, however, when someone
wants a recipe or hands on experience with something.

I was recently gifted some large scallop baking shells. I've always
wanted to but have never made Coquilles St. Jacques. I've already
Googled for recipes but when the time comes I'll likely ask if anyone
here has a tried & true recipe before deciding which one to try.
