You may not have the money to be handing out dimes to school children, but you'll eat like a Rockefeller with this dinner. Succulent scallops nestle in a bed of creamy risotto, with the great flavors of Rockefeller (the oysters, not the rich family): fresh spinach, cheese, crispy onions. (Still confused about who was handing out dimes to school children? That's what the Internet is for!) Tip: Want to get the most juice out of your lemon? Before cutting, microwave the lemon for 15-20 seconds to "soften" the fruit. Then, gently roll the softened fruit on your work surface while pressing on it with your palm. Finally, give yourself some serious mechanical advantage by placing a cut half in between the arms of a pair of tongs to make squeezing much easier.
