Yummy Mussels
Posted on August 27, 2005 by Ching under Family, Life.
Brian and I treated his parents to lunch at Granite City Food and Brewery today. They have had a rough couple of days so we wanted to take them out to lunch and maybe get their mind thinking more positive thoughts, like good food and good brews. LOL. I took the opportunity to try the mussels on the appetizers menu. One would think I would’ve learned a thing or two from the whole Siam Cuisine experience yesterday. But you know me, I can’t help being adventurous when it comes to food. Anyway, these were excellent! I love mussels, but I hadn’t had mussels in several years. We used to have them all the time in the Philippines, but since Brian doesn’t really like seafood we don’t ever go to any seafood restos and I don’t know of any other regular restos around here that serve mussels. I like Granite City because their prices are pretty reasonable. Our damage was well under $100. Of course, it was lunch time and no one really drank any alcohol – except for me. I had another Hawaiian vacation. I’m not sure what’s in it, but it’s so yummy! Anyway, drinking is normally what drives up your dining bill. At $8 a pop, by the time your fifth drink rolls around you can plan on eating ramen noodles the rest of the week. Ha! Ha! Ha! Of course, that just applies to us poor folk. All you filthy rich people out there who can afford to eat at Cibola once a week can bite me. LOL. Maybe that’s why I like champagne brunch at Legends so much? Those mimosas rock and they’re only like $2 or something. So for about $25 a person you eat all you want and get a good buzz going. What a way to start the Sunday weekend wrap up! Geez, I wandered off topic again! Anyway, Brian mentioned at lunch that mussels are an aphrodisiac. Too bad he doesn’t like them. Isn’t it ironic that I’m the one who loves to eat mussels? Like my libido needs any help! I ate every single one today (and then I ate pork chops; I know, I’m a pig) so now Brian is hiding from me. He’s probably worried that I’m going to rape him or something. Ha! Ha! Ha!
