Summer Recipes

Learned these at last week's Movie Night. (It was Better Off Dead. We drank to "Beth" and "Two Dollars".)

CARRIE'S EXCELLENT MUSSELS
She swears it's easy and cheap, like me. (Actually, not true. Carrie and I have a new motto: "If only we were whores...")

Ingredients:
Mussels (1 lb per person, about $3 a pound)
3/4 butter stick
1 cup pre-sliced onion, red or white
1 clove garlic crushed
handfull of fresh parsely
3/4 bottle of white wine

Discard any open mussels. Pull off beards. Rinse in lukewarm water - NOT COLD!

Brown onions in a large pot (preferably with a clear lid so you can keep on eye on things later). Throw in wine. Put lid on. Steam for 5 minutes until they open. Discard any that didn't open (eating them can make you sick).

Serve with sliced french bread that you dip in the broth. Yum!
