I bought some frozen ones this morning for a seafood lasagne for my d-i-l.
The supermarket that has the best fresh fish has had several cases of
covid among the staff. I don't feel like risking a visit there.

I asked this morning if they were local and they are, we are also in
touch with a local fisherman so for the time being we are all back to
fish, glorious fish, not what's left over after all the good stuff is
exported.

I managed them all, it was a duty really, they wouldn't taste as good
tomorrow

They are the perfect simple dinner. Make sure they are nice and dry,
season with a little salt and pepper, heat up a pan, apply just a tiny
bit of oil, slap the scallops on for a bit, flip them over and eat.
Just make sure there is a good sear on them for taste and texture. They
don't need to be cooked all the way through.

Given the price of scallops around here, I would consider 3-4 to be a
serving for one. If price were no object I would eat them by the dozen.
I love scallops, and this is my favourite way to cook them.

I buy frozen sea scallops and here's why. The raw sea scallops in the
seafood case aren't straight off a boat. They always have a sign in
front of them that says "previously frozen". I appreciate Publix being
transparent about that but why would I want to buy previously frozen
(then thawed scallops when I can buy a 1 lb. resealable bag of flash
frozen sea scallops for half the price? I've never been disappointed in
them and I can portion out as many or as few as I want and thaw them
myself. I love, love, love scallops!

I never use oil, definitely they mate better with butter.

Back some years when I was still diving I used to get a scallop
licence, C$5 per year which entitled me to 100 scallops per dive. You
have not tasted scallops until you taste them fresh out of the water,
totally different to frozen. These were fresh from the water and can
I ever taste the difference.

My mother pretty much used a switch, had to be green so it would be flexible,
and several leaves left on the end to give that extra sting.

A childhood girlfriends mother used a paddle her husband made with small
holes drilled in it. He always admonished her when the kids were hellions
"Don't threaten, do!"

A girl at work used a ping pong paddle on her son. She said it was a great
attention getter (his).

So long as it remains a smack, not a beating, I don't see why the big
furore about it these days. My brother and I grew up useful citizens,
likewise my descendants, the only one I don't feel to proud of was
given (IMO) too easy a living by my daughter-in-law. I feel it
defines a limit of behaviour to children, no bad thing.

Yes, it lets them know there are consequences for bad behavior and not just
not getting to go to the movies.

One morning, when my daughter was age 3-4, my wife and I were in
the kitchen talking and she came in and kept doing something
annoying (don't remember what). I finally turned to her and said,
"If you don't stop that, I'm going to spank you."

To our surprise, she immediately turned and ran back into her
bedroom and shut the door.

About 5 minutes later she came back and looked at me defiantly
and said, "Go ahead and spank me dad, see if I care!"

So, jokingly, I turned her around and gave her a little swat on
her butt. But it didn't feel right and she also starting
giggling, so I said, "Wait a minute here." I lifted up her
nightgown and saw that when she had run into the bedroom, she put
on about 12 pairs of panties to pad her butt. LOL. Too funny!

My son got a few spankings when he was young. There were no props used,
just quick smack of the hand. Beating a child will only make the kid
blame and hate the one who beats them. To be effective, a spank has to
be immediate so they associate their action with the discomfort that
followed.

Same here with my children, Dave. Just a quick swat, not hard
enough to inflict pain. It was just a gesture to show extreme
disapproval.

Very often, just a frown or even a raised eyebrow did the trick.

Speaking of children, I need to call my daughter soon.
Today is her birthday.

And again...don't forget Sheldon here. His birthday today
too.

The old timers would tell me of getting popped with the flat palm of the hand on their ear. Evidently, this lead to broken eardrums. That was shocking to me. As disciplinary tactics goes, this seems more like a US Navy Seals hand to hand combat technique.
