Really? I find turmeric has an unpleasant earthy flavour and I wouldn't
maltreat scallops with it.

Scallops from cold water are always better, as indeed much fish is as
well. Though I like some tropical type fish once in a while, cold
water is superior, in my opinion.

I like that type of bag too and I put them inside another larger
ziplock to make a double layer of seals.
 
I shall have to get some scallops again!

I'm not a Costco member (none nearby) but I buy the Publix brand frozen
scallops that come in a sturdy bag with a zip-lock. Costs about $30 for
a 1 lb. bag of the the sea scallops; lesser for the small Patagonian
scallops. (I like those, too.)
 
Usually the prices on the large ones in the seafood case on a bed of ice
is around $30-40. But on the sign it says "previously frozen". To me,
it's a no brainer. I can't tell any difference in the taste. Then
again, I've never tasted a freshly harvested scallop. The frozen ones
work for me.

Obama had to give up the Public Option part of his original ACA plan to get it through the Republican Congress!! Because the FOR PROFIT Health Insurance corporations didn't want the PRICE COMPETITION!! :-(

Only 17% of US electricity is renewable. Renewable is the future, not
the present.

Sure. They don't pay 50 billion in foreign aid.

Obamacare made cost of covering a non-working 25yo and under with no
health issue rise from 75$ a month to 500$ a month. Basically the you
are paying out the ass the rates dropped a little for elders with
medical issues.

I sell medical devices. A woman asked me why these widgets were so expensive. The answer is obvious. They are expensive because these devices can only be sold by people licensed by the state. On the open market they'd probably be sold for 10 to 20 percent of the going rate. That's probably pretty true with most medical goods and services. Reform of the entire system would be a good thing.

Perhaps eventually. In the greater part of Nevada, water flows inland
and never sees the ocean. Well, what little of it there is and for this
particular era. Go Great Basin! All our pee are belong to you!

LOL, I use a dinging timer if I want to tuen off the crockpot at a
certain time. Since tat is rare here, it's more effective and efficient
to not have one that shuts off on it's own (can lead to food spoilage).
 
I guess that is a reverse image cooking from yours?

well, heck. I see those pots of stock simmering all the time in
kitchens on that TV network you don't watch. They utilize every
dollar they spend. Everything has a use, including ending up in a pot
for hours and hours.

If it's bad, it's bad. That has nothing to do with disdain or respect.
But maybe those young people have been McDonaldofied and just don't
like any Chinese food.

You don't read anything, do you? You just continue ranting, regardless

chin every now and then.

Just me, but I don't really understand rice with milk and/or a sweetener
in any form. It simply wasn't something I grew up with. <shrug>

It looks like Butterball brand turkey bacon. The sausage is probably some kind of fake meatless sausage.
