Review of last recipe (photo above) - It was billed as a quick and colorful dinner-in-a-skillet, and it was.  All the flavors came together nicely.

TODAY'S RECIPE - COQUILLES ST. JACQUES
Another recipe so old, it's handwritten on paper which has yellowed.

1 pint scallops
1 pint white wine
6-8 mushrooms
2 tbsp butter
2-3 finely chopped shallots
1 tbsp finely chopped parsley
salt and pepper
1 scant tbsp flour
1 tbsp cream
bread crumbs
butter

Boil scallops in white wine for 3-5 minutes, then cut them into quarters (I used bay scallops and left them whole.).

Slice mushrooms and saute them with 2 tbsp butter, adding shallots, parsley, salt and pepper.  Cook lightly and blend in flour.

Slowly add, stirring constantly, about 1 cup of the liquid in which the scallops were cooked, then add in cream.  Place this mixture in a baking dish and sprinkle with bread crumbs, dot with butter and broil until golden.
