I enjoyed a crepe filled with lemon butter and powdered sugar

I enjoyed a poached pear with bleu cheese ice cream and candied walnuts
& lastly
I enjoyed a eggnog ice cream.

Of course, I didn't eat all of this by myself, but myself and 2 others did-- we shared and talked, and laughed.

Good times.

Gee ahk you had a feast! Sounds like a good time. What a great idea.

Earlier I mentioned a Mussel dish that was my Dad's favorite. Here is the recipe if you want to make this at home:

Mussels in Garlic Sauce

2lbs Fresh Mussels, soaked and cleaned (soak in cold water with a little corn meal to purge any sand)

6 Cloves of Garlic - Chopped

1 Large Fresh lemon or 2 small Lemons, juiced

1/2 Cup Dry White Wine or 1/4 Cup Rice Vinegar+1/4 Cup Water

2 T Butter

2T Olive Oil (Blended Olive Oil)

Sea Salt & Fresh ground Black Pepper

Tabasco

Directions:

In a large saute' pan or 6-8Qt pot, heat Olive oil over medium heat, and saute chopped garlic for one minute. Add mussels, Wine or Vinegar/Water mix, Lemon Juice, Butter and a few dashes of Tabasco. Simmer over medium heat with a lid on for 3 minutes. Remove lid and stir. Cover again and cook for 5 minutes. Remove lid and stir. Your mussels should now be open and cooked through. Toss in a pinch of Sea Salt and Fresh Ground Black Pepper.

Serve with garlic bread.

Yeild: 2 entree's or 4 appetizers

Sun, I did indeed have a feast.
About your recipe: Can you use baby clams, instead
of mussels? (truth be hold, I've never eaten a mussel)

Hi ahk,

Yes this simple saute will work for any shellfish. Shrimp as well though I would add a little water. The Mussels hold some water that release into the liquid. The Shrimp do not.

Add a half a chopped Jalepeno and jazz it up.

Y'all might wanna be a little more uniform than that; I've been known to chop into all size pieces in the same dish.

Nope, Sun, no broth yet. First I gotta eat the chicken, after all! Then we have to get the potato soup out of the old crockpot. The new crockpot will be for general cooking. The old crock will become my broth pot. *huge grin*

Ooh potato soup. How do you make yours?

Oh I see you have to eat the chicken first. Guess I was eager for some chicken stock so I would have pulled the chicken off the bones. Must be my lack of home cooked food that creates this visual urgency in my brain. Then I project that. Aye.

I think that I am coming down with a cold, so my craving for chicken soup just jumped about 90% which means there is still time to fight this. If I get truly sick, I want nothing to do with food of any sort.
