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.

The second said, "I think librarians are the easiest to operate on. You open them up and everything inside is in alphabetical order." The third said, "I like to operate on electricians. You open them up and everything inside is color-coded." The fourth one said, "I like to operate on lawyers. They're heartless spineless, gutless, and their heads and their ass are interchangeable."
