I just started in on a new bottle of Seagram's 7 Dark Honey a few hours ago and remembered that I haven't eaten. So being the responsible asshole that I am, and not drive impaired---
I decided that I had to order some damn pizza. I looked for the wallet and I remembered I had put it in the glove compartment...Well...the both the garage and car were on the other side of the house. Fuck that...I was too lazy. I was hungry...and haven't been the grocery store in weeks. So..into the freezer. I find frozen mussels, frozen scallops...and some bullshit microwaveable veggies. Fuck that veggie shit. At any rate...this is what I came up with given what I had left on hand: Mussels/Scallops in a bullshit Parmesan/garlic creamy butter sauce over angel hair pasta: First, heat up stove, throw frozen mussels into pan with shitty white wine, garlic, salt, pepper.... 
Start thawing scallops in warm water. Continuing to boil wine/garlic sauce down--steam and heat is starting to open up the mussels. Started angel-hair pasta boiling in salted water. 
Removing mussels when done (covering with saran wrap in a bowl), reserving about 50% of the liquid. Add scallops and cook until firm 
When liquid is reduced and scallops are firming up---I add all the cheese that I had left (maybe 1/4 a bag of shredded white American) and some dried Parmesan cheese like you'd put on spaghetti. Then I threw in some heavy cream, butter, and fresh chopped garlic. Pulled meat from mussels and threw into cheesy-weird mixture. 
Removed noodles from water and drained. Added some olive oil, butter, and oregano and tossed it. Added mussels/scallops/sauce over the noodles. Booze and nearest handgun included (I wasn't going to unlock a rifle for a bullshit snack picture). Regardless of how it looks---it tasted pretty fucking good. 
At any rate...now into third episode of Firefly, looking to move on to Season 5 of SoA. |

Actually, it was cold water...that I had to dump twice. When it was done the third time, it was about room temperature. I should live, though. Quoted:

You defrosted frozen seafood in standing warm water? I hope you live... Actually, it was cold water...that I had to dump twice. When it was done the third time, it was about room temperature. I should live, though. defrost with running cold water and a colander also, something with a delicate flavor like scallops shouldn't be covered with cheese, cream and wine sauce |
