When I gaze at the work of February’s Featured Artist Jenny Brown, which I’ve been doing  a lot this month, it makes me long for the sea.  These creatures of the deep and the shallows that she creates out of vintage ephemera reminds me just how landlocked we are here in Idaho.  But this Sunday, we set off for our next destination, Eureka, California!

Between the anticipation of the sea air and Jenny’s work, I’m craving something salty and briny and these Soy Citrus Scallops with Soba Noodles are sure to satisfy my longing.

 

Those little tentacle-y shapes show up in lots of Jenny’s work and remind me so much of noodles– which I never need an excuse to consume!  This recipe takes advantage of fresh scallops and snow peas to create a perfect mix of flavors and textures.  The ideal pairing.  All that would make it better is a glass of wine and the smell of the salt air.  Soon, Artsy.  Soon!

To see more of Jenny’s work, head over to her website and devour every last delicious morsel!  The piece above and others can be purchased from Enormous Tiny Art and seen in person at the ETA show at Nahcotta in Portsmouth, NH.
