Last week I received e-mails from Epicurious.com highlighting both St. Patrick’s Day and Easter meals. As I poked around the site, I stumbled across this recipe for Seared Scallops with Tarragon-Butter Sauce. This is my kind of a meal. On the way home from work today I decided this was just the dish to make tonight.
Fritz and I went out to purchase scallops and pick up some tarragon. Back home I began the Jasmine rice. After tidying up a few things I began the scallops. Only a few minutes later we were sitting down enjoying a wonderful dinner. Scallops, shallots, butter, and wine. It doesn’t get much better than that for a week night. Toss in a little tarragon and my tummy is happy.
The other day I commented on someone’s blog that bacon makes everything taste better. So does butter, obviously. It’s been a while since I made a beurre blanc sauce. My first encounter with this classic sauce was beneath the Crab Mappatello, the signature dish, at the Mad Batter, more than 25 years ago. Geez . . . that’s a long time ago.
Anyhow, I decided that even though it is not in good shape, I would open up the wiki for all to see. Hey, if you’ve read this entire post, you might as well get something out of it. You can watch from the ground up on this new site. You’ll need to register to participate, but it’s free, painless, and all that good stuff. Stop on by . . .

A long time ago I implemented a wiki on this site. It was short-lived. Yet, the idea has stuck with me.
Today I began work the next phase of the Ladow network. There will be is a wiki. It’s nowhere near ready for prime time, but the process has begun. The initial focus will be creating a biography together. Once that is done, I imagine it will branch out into documenting beliefs, projects, etc.
I do envision this wiki being built by a community. Those who can add to the biography, provide perspective on events, and the like will be encouraged to do so.
Eventually, some of the content on eCache (FAQs, etc.) will be removed to the wiki, where I believe it will be better suited. That will leave eCache to act as merely as a blog, not a CMS, as it should.

I have been working on my wiki all day. It’s not for public release yet . . . it may never be. Interestingly, it is serving the purpose that this site originally served back in 2007. The outcome will certainly be different. <g> . . . The Phillies won today, but my do they not look sharp . . . A nor’easter is due tonight with the possibility of snow. It’s the middle of April, for goodness sake . . . Is there a policy that permits the governor’s SUV to speed with flashing lights? . . . Not much to say tonight. I am sure some are thankful . . . Today, eCache passed 100,000 spam comments caught. Thank you Askimet! . . .
