We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box. ...Hmmm? .

ANYTHING scallops is good! This one sounds so easy, too. Cin, you should post your catfish piccata recipe, that one is so tastey and so easy to make!
