    When I think Kansas, I think sea scallops. I also appreciate the technology of freezing.

    So for moms, grandmothers, moms-to-be and everyone else who cares for children, here’s to you.

    Sea scallops in a chicken stock reduction with asparagus, strawberries, blackberies, Camembert cheese, multigrain bread, bagels, smoked salmon, tomatoes, basil, shrimp, pistachios, bloody Caesar’s, champagne, and chocolate cheesecake.

  • Raw seafood should not be packed and sold with fresh produce

    Posted: August 29th, 2009 - 9:15am by Doug Powell

    It’s the biggest thing to happen in Manhattan (Kansas) grocery shopping … at least since we went away a few weeks ago.

    The Hy-Vee opened.

    And the Kroger-owned Dillon’s where we usually shopped is making some changes.

    The first time we visited our usually bustling Dillon’s after the Hy-Vee opened, the place was a ghost town. Row after row of marked down products and a sense of malaise. We asked an employee why it was so quiet and he said, “It’s quiet?”

    By yesterday, however, the pace at Dillon’s had picked up, and some new products had been added as well as a small demonstration kitchen near the meat aisle.

    One of the new products was this (above right). Raw (previously frozen) scallops, packed with cherry tomatoes and lettuce. This seems like an exceedingly bad idea – microbiologically.
