Steps:

• Pour yourself a glass of your favorite cold beverage and have a sip.
• Wash and pat dry all the vegetables. A salad spinner works well for the spinach if you have one. Remove any large stems from spinach. Cut the carrots how you like them or not at all. Arrange all the vegetables nicely in a large bowl or into individual serving bowls. Cover, set aside in fridge or otherwise keep cool.
• Preheat the grill.
• Don't forget a sip of your optional ingredient before your hands get messy.
• Cut each scallop in half with the grain. Wrap each half with 1/2 slice bacon, and skewer it.
• Place the eggs in a 2 quart saucepan, fill the pan ~2/3 way with cold water. Bring the water to boil, reduce heat to low and cook eggs for 12 minutes. Remove from the heat, drain and douse with cold water to stop the cooking.
• While the eggs are cooking, grill the scallops in bacon over medium heat until the bacon gets nicely cooked. By that time the scallops should be done. Done scallops are tender but not mushy. If they feel like a pencil eraser, that's probably overdone. That said, the bacon wrap seems to keep the scallops from drying out - to a point.
• Get the salad(s) out. Add the feta and crutons so it looks pretty (if you're still feeling 'pretty' at this point).
• Take and peel the eggs, slice them and splay the warm slices over the top of the salad(s).
• Remove Scallops from skewers over to top of the salad(s).
• Top with your favorite dressing.
