Our local seafood store had dry pack sea scallops so I picked up a
pound of them for dinner. The supermarket had a bag of small
potatoes, yellow, red, purple that just looked good. In the end, they
don't taste any different than the big ones, but they do look good on
the plate.

We had:
sea scallops with orange butter sauce
potatoes
garden salad with local lettuces
naan bread (heated over the flame on the stove)
sauvignon blanc wine

For the two of us, this would have been easily a $100 meal for two at
a fancy restaurant.

The orange butter sauce I've made often. Sear the scallops in a pan
with a generous helping of butter. When cooked, plate the scallops. To
the pan, add a bit more butter if needed. Add a tablespoon of frozen
orange juice concentrate and a big splash of your favorite orange
liquor. Deglaze the pan, reduce a bit, and pour over the scallops.

At dinner time is was about 75 degrees on the deck. Nice evening.
