I have to admit I pull back on the husk to peek at the kernels before i buy. I like to see them large and plump. I never tried cooking rice that way but I'll try it as the low boiling point in this high altitude means we have to use extra water when cooking rice or quinoa. <br /><br />I love scallops but they are very expensive here or sold frozen which I dislike! The best fish I've found locally is freshly caught trout or wild Pacific salmon. I miss fresh shellfish dearly...sigh.Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2209877942576268533.post-87473887631372088352013-08-18T23:27:23.189-04:002013-08-18T23:27:23.189-04:00Dear Sam, What a beautiful dish.

And please don't get me started about people who tear back that husks to inspect the corn before purchasing. It's incredibly annoying. Last week our corn vendor hollered at someone to stop and explained he'd have to throw that ear away since the peeled it back and put back on the pile. Not to mention I didn't see anything wrong with the ear of corn he didn't take. Plus they clog up the line.... see, you got me started. :)Lea Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18300494324578850021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2209877942576268533.post-25778960097611793632013-08-17T10:29:43.127-04:002013-08-17T10:29:43.127-04:00I pinned, tweeted and G+ this recipe.

Perhaps serve them with garlic mashed potatoes. Just be sure to try to find the dry packed ones. It's very hard to get a nice sear on the others.<br /><br />BTW, David Lebovitz's recent post was on corn cakes and how hard it is to find corn in France because the French don't eat corn for the very same reason you mentioned. Even though you don't care for corn, you might enjoy his charming story about as an American, his desperate search for fresh corn in France.

You know, having been brought up in France where corn is usually only fed to animal, I never ate it until I came to this country and never got to liking it much. As for rice, at home my father used to cook it. He did not cook much but he wanted his rice the Armenian way, so he cooked it. He placed a tablespoon of olive oil and some butter in a large frying pan and placed the dry rice on it on medium heat. He kept stirring the rice until it was opaque, then he would pour the hot water, or chicken broth, on it, let it boil for just a few seconds, then cover it and let it cook on very low for 20 minutes. It was always perfect. Sometimes he placed pine nuts with the rice. He cooked this every week – a large quantity so he could eat some everyday.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2209877942576268533.post-179900058258165992013-08-15T19:40:55.044-04:002013-08-15T19:40:55.044-04:00This will be marvelous, as always!This will be marvelous, as always!Joan Ellen Gage Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08467664599733063521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2209877942576268533.post-67003176806416343452013-08-15T19:21:06.505-04:002013-08-15T19:21:06.505-04:00Sounds like a very healthy dinner Sam!

One of his main jobs is to inspect scallops. Through him we know that dry pack is the very best but sometimes hard to find. A few year's ago, while visiting him in R.I., he prepared scallops for us. They were the best I've ever tasted. When I asked for his secret, he said: You've got to meet the boat! Since those boats don't come anywhere near Chicago, it's a bit hard to find them. We are fortunate to have friends who grow corn and soybeans and they have a small "sweet corn" garden. We get very fresh corn. This recipe sounds delicious and I've put it in my "file".<br /><br />Best,<br />BonnieFrom the Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00789641912016566894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2209877942576268533.post-63721708393044687922013-08-15T18:30:53.753-04:002013-08-15T18:30:53.753-04:00I love the idea of seasoning scallops with smoked ...I love the idea of seasoning scallops with smoked paprika, Sam!
