This What I ate Wednesday is brought to you by Saturday. :) That felt very sesame street...
Ok, I LOVE St. Paddies Day. LOVE. As in more then my birthday or Christmas. And one of the best things about living here is the McGuires St. Paddies Day annual 5k. A little running, a lot of fun and drinking delicious green Irish Wakes. This year the run was the Saturday before the 17th which I was very excited about. Why? Because it basically means I get 2 St. Paddies Days this year!
This was part of my pre run fuel. Left over rare steak, oddly it was from McGuires... ha. plus some broccoli and water.
After the race I had some veggie soup and a few irish wakes at the after party then headed to the local fish market to get some stuff for dinner. They were handing out these yummy scallops to try:
Dinner was some jumbo sea scallops, escolar, cucumber and seaweed salad all made by my hubby. There's nothing better than fresh seafood.
Wanna see some fun race pictures? Part of what makes it so much fun is the fact that it is a prediction race. No pressure to finish first. Which would be hard with the 12,000 other people. I'm no runner! But I try. ;) Anyway, people dress up in all kinds of crazy outfits because they have a best costume prize.

Oh man, your steak and scallops look delish - this is why I shouldn't read blogs hungry! Sounds like a fun race!
ReplyDeletePs - I was having some blog issues so I only just saw the comment you left on my last WIAW post - sorry! The green eggs taste just like a spinach omelette :-)
There is not much better to me than a nice rare filet. I could eat it anytime of the day or night! And thanks for getting back with me about the omelet! I think I'll have to try it now. Maybe St Paddies day bkfst?
DeleteYour dinners are my bf's dream!!! He loves sea scallops and I have always thought they were so-so.
ReplyDeleteI just love most any seafood. Scallops are my favorite when they are cooked in lots of butter though :)
DeleteYUM! Oh my gosh, all of this looks amazing! I just ate some fish tacos that were so good. I bet you'd love them!
ReplyDeleteI bet you're right! I'm a BIG fan of fish tacos!
DeleteHow do you guys cook your scallops? I've never had scallops before. I bought a pack of frozen scallops from our fish market yesterday. I'm thinking about wrapping them in bacon :D
ReplyDeleteAmber so sorry I JUST saw this! I think Matt just cooked those ones in butter. Sometimes he sears them with olive oil so they are a little crispy on the outside. You just want to make sure you get all the water out of them before you cook them.
