Day 3 lunch

After tragically mistiming how long it would take me to go to the DMV and get a new title and registration and license plates, I didn't get to eat lunch today until 3:30. Part of me really craved red meat, but I had scallops defrosted that couldn't wait too much longer. I cooked them with basil and garlic, and added a bit of water to get a steam going. It's hard to get a sear without oil, but they're still very tasty. I ended up eating about 8oz of them, so that's my snack as well as my lunch. About two thirds of the way through the bowl, the weirdest thing happened: I was getting really full. I finished, mostly because I knew I had to eat, but it's weird how fast the body adapts to this small amount of food.



I served them in a bowl, rather than with more attractive presentation, because scallops cool off very quickly, and keeping them in a bowl helps keep them hot.
