An acidic marinade is all that is needed to cook this spicy and sour scallop ceviche. You can also serve the scallops on toasted sesame crackers. As with all ceviches, the acidic marinade "cooks" the seafood without heat-and it happens pretty quickly. So it's good to make this at the last minute and set it out just before people dig in.

Chocolate Chip Crisscross Cookies
This is my riff on Allrecipes' Best Chocolate Chip Cookies. I turned half the dough into a chocolate dough with white chips, then used a technique from my cookbook, Marbled, Swirled, and Layered, to put the two halves together in a crisscross way. I also sprinkled Maldon® salt on top, which helps cut the sweetness and adds an extra little crunch.

Irish Brown Bread
We love this Irish brown bread recipe. It makes a delicious brown bread closest to what we ate while in Ireland. It isn't Irish soda bread, which has a completely different taste and texture.
