Fun tip to remember how to spell:

Wednesday!!

Separate the syllables!

Wed Nes Day!

This is short for Wed Nestle Day! It's your wedding with Nestle!! All your friends have abandoned you, shunning your adhorrent support of exploitative companies but they dont know of your plans to take the company in the divorce and disband it

Folks, this Thanksgiving, remember,

it's scalloped potatoes, not 'scallop potatoes'.

To scallop (v), past tense scalloped, is a verb derived from Old English collop, meaning to slice thinly.

It is a parallel spelling and pronunciation to scallop (n) i.e. the bivalve mollusk harvested as seafood, but that word derives from old French escalope which itself derives its spelling and meaning from old Germanic and Middle Dutch words such as skalpr or schelpe, meaning a sheath, shell, or carapace

Thus, scalloped here describes the method of preparation - thinly sliced.

And remember - if you were to bake scallops in the oven for as long as you would a potato gratin casserole, they'd turn out rubbery, dry and gross. :)
