Our good friend Timmy surprised us by dropping off Fresh Water Chestnuts. These are NOT like the Chestnuts you find in can. They are fresh and I have only seen them in an Asian Market. Timmy knows there is a dish we like to make called: Scallops and Fresh Water Chestnuts in Thai Pork Sauce and he knows it is hard for us to find them. The most interesting thing about this dish (in addition to it being delicious) is the Water Chestnuts and and the Scallops visually look the same in the dish. So when you pick one up and put it in your mouth you don't know what to expect, crunchiness of the Water Chestnut or the soft texture of the Scallop. We first had the dish at Bruce Cost's restaurant in San Francisco and have recreated it many times. You can find the recipe on our blog of April 18, 2010. Click the date to get the recipe.
We started with a Little Gem Salad with Garlic Almonds. This is a great a different Salad Dressing. If you have Never made it I would highly recommend it. You can get the recipe on our blog of April 10, 2022. Click the date to get the recipe.
