Cooking instruction summary:

Cut your bacon into pieces. Cook up your bacon first. I sometimes use more bacon then I have listed there, but it’s really going to be a personal decision. Once it’s almost cooked, add the onion and garlic to the pan and stir it all up. Continue cooking the bacon until done (hopefully no more than 3 minutes or so)Remove the bacon and onions from the pan and then turn the heat up to high. Sprinkle the scallops with some salt and pepper. Put them into the pan you were just cooking in.Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side.Add the onions back into the pan and reduce heat to medium-high.Cook for an additional 2 minutes or so. Serve.We usually serve this with a side of wild rice and some grilled asparagus.

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
