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 Trivia

The largest item found on any menu is roasted camel which is still served at some Bedouin weddings and was offered by royalty in Morocco several hundred years ago. The camel is cleaned and then stuffed with one whole lamb, 20 chickens, 60 eggs, and 110 gallons of water, among other ingredients.

Food Joke

When the employees of a restaurant attended a fire safety seminar, they watched a fire official demonstrate the proper way to operate an extinguisher. "Pull the pin like a hand grenade," he explained, "then depress the trigger to release the foam." Later an employee was selected to extinguish a controlled fire in the parking lot. In her nervousness, she forgot to pull the pin. The instructor hinted, "Like a hand grenade, remember?" In a burst of confidence she pulled the pin -- and hurled the extinguisher at the blaze.
