Scallops are my favourite seafood. Over lobster. Over shrimp .Over halibut. Over haddock or sockeye. Over all. I am thankful for scallops. I am thankful for how incredibly delicious they are and for what a cool animal they are - all the eyes and they way they can propel themselves by clapping their shells … Continue reading Scallops

I am thankful for brisk cold walks in the dark when the night sky is shining with stars and a weak flashlight is your only light. I am thankful for how soft my dog's coat is and the fact that he pulls the leash hard to protect me form the nearby swing of dread.
