cooking together: bacon wrapped scallops, chocolate souffle

Will and I love cooking. We try new recipe on the weekend. i just decided to documents our cooking adventure like other adventure we went through together :)

The weekend menu is bacon wrapped scallops with spicy and soufflé.  I remembered the first time i tried the bacon wrapped scollops is in a restaurant in lake placid after a day-hike on Mt. Marcy. Maybe because i was super hungry or because everything tastes better than energy bar, the dish was wonderful.

We got the bacon wrapped scallops recipe from . According to the recipe they used applewood smoked bacon, which is exactly the same as what we used this time. However, it's hard to wrapped around the scallop and I felt it's too oily to eat at the end. I'll try to use a thin-sliced bacon next time.  We serves the scallops with orange sauce( the sauce they used in the restaurant was maple BBQ). I like the orange sauce better since it brings the fresh taste and makes the dish not so oily.   

Orange sauce:
ingredient:
orange juice       150 ml
butter                 1 Tbsp
white pepper and salt for taste

The soufflé's recipe is from one of William's  favorite cooking website named cooking for engineers. The website is using an analytical ways to cook~really engineers style :D. When we baked the souffle we followed the standard operation procedure:p~we even use the Scharffen Berger's dark chocolate as she recommend (Although i like this brand anyway) The result just turned out exactly like the website.
