Mussels are food of the gods...

[msfledermaus]

I had some friends over for dinner and fireworks for the Aquatennial. Dinner took a bit of work--we bought mussels that needed a fair bit of cleaning and debearding and such. I steamed in in a bath of red wine(yes, red--shut up! It's good, I tellya!) and garlic and butter...we feasted outside with big fat baguettes and really good butter and the mussels, and Liz brought a great cucumber salad. What bliss. What joy. When I come home to the Island after a long day of whatever and sit in the backyard in the garden, it's better than Shangri-La. And with a dinner like that, I have my own personal Arcadia...

In a few minutes I'll go hose myself down with bug spray and check out the fireworks. Tomorrow can bring what it brings, but tonight is beautiful and perfect...
