mussels!!!!
March 8th, 2009
The other night we made mussels. The kids absolutely loved them. I had a recipe I was supposed to be following, but found, halfway through the process that we didn’t have the ingredients. So, I made up the sauce. I think Fuss ate most of the mussels! He had a huge pile of shells in front of him and kept asking for more. Now, this is the boy who a half hour before had been devestated. Crying on the floor, totally destroyed that we were killing the mussels in order to have dinner. Wow - it was total drama around here for a bit.
Then, the mussels were on the table and it was all over except for the shell collecting!
This is how Fuss’ bowl looked at the start:
We cooked about 3 pounds, maybe more, and Fuss ate most of them. Luckily, he got an unexpected portion from Bug, who wasn’t overly keen on the wee shellfish, at first (she came around)!
Fuss enjoyed his dinner experience so much, he keeps asking when we are having mussels again!
Not sure, but I did see a really good recipe in Bon Appetit the other day…..
Enjoying the journey, Amanda
