In the meantime I thought I would show you guys what else I've been up to. Your remember the Cornucopyas from last month? Well, they just had a couple baby brothers. 50cm this time and all foam, no wood. The spiral was rounded out a bit too.

Little Jordan drivers no bigger than tweeters. I must be getting soft in my old age, building these cute little speakers. ;)

...it says so on the label!:D

Seriously though, they sound wonderful.

Having eaten (pigged on) mussels at both lunch and dinner one day in France, I suffered a most violent dose of food poisioning! It was far from enjoyable as it lost me 3 days of holiday, about 7 lbs weight, and was very painful indeed. :mad:From then I stayed away from shellfish for over a year. Then started back - but with care. However I am careful not to pig on them any more as I would have to double my dose of statins!

Yet I remember a night with a box of just flown in S.African crayfish...dribble, dribble, dribble.

Enjoy 'em Cal.:)
 
Thanks but I have to come clean now. This recipe is very good. I get offers from girls when I cook them at a party. Offers I can't tell my wife about. It's a recipe that we developed close to 20 years ago and is so popular, I get told, not asked, told to do them at our get-togethers. You've never had them in a restaurant. Most places are stuck in the 'black bean syndrome' or a wine sauce or something equally boring and haven't a clue how good mussels can be. Personally I don't eat them. I like clams and oysters but not a fan of mussels. That said, I have eaten so many of these that I can't eat them anymore. I just make them for everyone else. Tonight I make them for my honey. That way I get kisses. :)
