FFwD ~ moules mariniere

For this week, I made a catch-up dish too!
Above: Short Ribs in Port and Red Wine
which the Doristas made way back in 25 February, 2011
- not my fav but pleasant enough -

for moules mariniere:
I only managed to get frozen half shell mussels this morning
from a month old new outlet near my fav mom n pop grocer 
 omitted the chicken bouillon cube
used fresh young ginger
the above are the only two addition/omission
it was all mine!

  2. How fun. I didn't even know you could get mussels on the half shell! I guess you don't have to worry about whether or not they open that way? I've never seen them!

  3. Wow, the half shell makes eating them easy, doesn't it?
    I just re-made those ribs a couple of weeks ago. They were one of my favorite!
