Good luck--they are lovely when done just the right amount of time. Once they have opened up they are cooked, get them off the heat and serve quickly or they go kind of soft and the flavour goes kind of meh.

What a coincidence. I'm also cooking mussels tonight. Making a big pot with mussels, shrimp, olive oil, tomatoes, and seasonings. I'd rep you, but it won't let me.

cheeseburger on a burger roll with a slice of tomato, sweet onions, lettuce mayo and ketchup. It's delish.

Most of them were great..some of them were horrible. lol That's what happens you buy seafood and you're landlocked. The seafood counter does have them flown in several times a week. I may try them again sometime.

Yum! I just sauteed garlic and shallots with some thyme in butter and olive oil..added a bottle of blonde ale and then added in the mussels..finished with a couple tablespoons of heavy cream at the end. Yours sounds great!

Misty: one key is to find out what day the seafood counter gets their deliveries, and plan on having them that day

Another trick, before you cook them, rinse them in cold water while shaking them (in a colander, sieve, or something like that). Any that don't close themselves up are dead and should be tossed. Likewise, after cooking, any that are shut tight, don't eat. You want them shut tight when rinsing, and open after cooking.

I confess that I impulse bought a 100 ounce refillable insulated travel mug at a gas station this afternoon for no other reason than it was the biggest one I have ever seen. It's absolutely outrageous, it weighs several pounds filled and won't even fit in my kitchen cabinet. LOL!

I got all the fixins for cheeseburgers... but I lost the urge to grill.

Don't let me near a cooking device. I can only cook with a cookbook in hand, otherwise I screw it up

HottiMegan · 10-13-2012, 10:04 PM

Ic i had my first daiquiri since i was like 21 (I rarely drink). My arms are all tingly.

ScreamingChicken · 10-16-2012, 09:40 AM

I am craving a Fiesta burger from Ricky's...again. These things are like crack to me. Maybe it's a good thing they are over $6 a pop and this place is 40 miles away otherwise all bets would be off.

BTW it's a 6 oz Angus Beef patty topped with pepper jack, sauteed onions, chiles, and jalapenoes and chipotle mayo on a jalapeno cheddar sourdough bun...oh my!

ODFFA · 10-26-2012, 04:22 AM

IC... I let a piece of chocolate melt in my mouth a little before I start chewing. Also, I will occasionally take a bite, followed immediately by a sip of coffee if I am having coffee too. Like... right now for example. *happy sigh*

That sounds real good, where exactly is this Ricky's located?

IC I are my first bigmac last night (I know! My friend was like whaaaaatt??) and I didn't really like it. I was always a plain cheeseburger gal and I always preferred Burger King, but the one in my area has closed down. But I was high and hungry and I just said the first thing I saw on the menu. I should've stuck with a plain cheeseburger

OOH i want to try all the Indian stuff!

I know that they don't do much meat sales there. Also a McFalafel looks good

And basically anything with paneer is good in my book

HottiMegan · 11-06-2012, 03:10 PM

Ic i got burned when trying to eat a piece of fresh out of the oven pizza. My chest has a little welt now when a dribble of hot sauce landed on me. (I'm wearing a tanktop since it's unseasonably warm)

An article about the making of the McSpicy Paneer

(The Team) tried several hundred formulations together for making paneer using different kinds of milk and creating different levels of moisture in the finished cheese. "We needed a paneer that was neither so soft that it crumbled easily during processing nor so firm that it became rubbery on frying. We had to walk a fine line."

They settled on locally produced buffalo milk.
