My love for people with accents (since I, of course, do not have one) began when I would travel around the country to camps. My friends and I would sit and listen to our newly acquired friends from different states for hours. We’d all laugh together about how different we sounded. North Dakota was one of my favorites. I came to love copying accents. It’s become a hobby, really.
Through the years, I’ve discovered which accent I speak in the best, which one makes me sound angriest even while I’m laughing and which one sounds best when writing a recipe. And with that, I present thee with Seared Scallops With Peach Salsa while using a Norwegian accent. You’re welcome.
Seared Scallops With Peach Salsa
Make da peach salsa so dat all the parts have da chance to get to know one anudder real vell while you make da scallops.
Ya sure, you betcha, some dose scallops come packed in da juices. Be sure to rinse dem real well.
