It's been an amazing Nantucket Bay scallop season, which led me to do a quick sauté the other night:

 

 

Served over rice, with well-cooked broccoli on the side.

 

We were guests at a dinner party the other night, at a friend's home.  Food was cooked by a pro. My contribution was 3 batched freezer cocktails (Negroni, Manhattan, and a wet Beefeater Martini), along with Union Square bar nuts, and house-made pigs in blankets:

 

 

Classy, huh?!!

 

Also served:

 

 

Cucumber salad, with foie behind it.

 

 

Nantucket Bay scallop ceviche.

 

 

Many morels with asparagus.

 

 

Dover sole stuffed with greens.  There was also grilled skirt steak over salad and at least one other vegetable dish.  If I remember dessert, I'll edit this post!

 

 

A lot of wine...1 or 2 bottles didn't make it into the picture.

 

Fun time was had by all.  (And a really old eGulleteer was present: @BryanZ. Actually, he was a really young eGulleteer, but isn't that young any more; he's now  the estate manager for the winery which the 3rd bottle from the left came from).  I particularly enjoyed the wines from the Jura, the Alexandre Bain Sauvignon Blanc, the Musar and the Roy Estate.
