[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 55345, member: 1835"] You guys are a crackup! No, I don't do this every night. He actually BBQ's quite often. But, as has been said, even that requires a lot of work. What usually happens is that I get bored with the same old meals and decide to "branch out." So, I'll pull out a cookbook and try something new. As was the case the other night, what SOUNDED like an easy dish of seared scallops, roasted red bell peppers, pine nuts, and chives over pasta turned out to be the meal from hell. The red bell peppers had to be roasted and peeled (NASTY job that turned my hands red!) before I could even begin the rest of the meal. The pine nuts had to be toasted, the chives had to be chopped, the scallops had to be seared, and this was just the main course! In my husband's defense, he is the shopper in the family and has no problem stopping by the grocery store almost every night to pick up whatever we need for dinner. I probably shouldn't complain...
