In which case I had better get HER to translate.. it means edible mussels.. which WE have jurst had for supper.. a whole kilo!
No, SHE cannot be bothered to do that white wine nonsence..
SHE gets a very large pan with a lid, in goes olive oil, crushed garlic, pepper and chilli flakes, onto the gas, turn up the flames and when garlic is beginning to sizzle, in go the mussels, on goes the lid and down come the flames a fraction..shake the pan a couple of times to make sure they all get access to the heat. and in no more than three minutes later..they are done.
SHE cleaned Mister Squiddly-Diddly, WE will have him tomorrow night with his ink, probably with Bulgar Wheat, he is scrummydumptious with that.
YOU make Bulgar using, if YOU have it, good home made Fish stock. SHE makes it in bulk out of Salmon heads and Shrimp heads and tails and freezes it in ice cube containers, then transfers the cubes into a bag.. simples!
So whilst SHE ate mussels, I gobbled two whole pieces of favourite bread along with four mussels and some Papaya with a few of those crunchy black seeds... ooooh, peppery!
WE are back off to bed, but this time it will be for the night with a good thriller, I shall be allowed, maybe, half an hour of television.
Then it is an early night for both HER and ME.. it is sad because weather forecast is dire!!! Oh, but WE are so very pleased indeedy that weather was dry for so long, this means that little shed roof was BONE dry when Dean nailed on the new roofing, little shed will be as snug as a bug can be..
"PipPip.. Good night Dear Readers".. Ooh, WE saw that Venezuela and Portugal have come on to read MY Blog.. I am spreading.. soon to be very fat... heehee..
GeeGee Parrot.

As for mussels (& oysters) I like them, but they don't like moi!, but I did think HER preparation was quite interesting w/o the white wine & just sort of sautèd, then smothered in self-juices. Also, my 7 & J.J. still fondly recall baby squid cooked in ink w/just the least bit of white wine or juice of one lemon for zing. We ate this dish on Thai rice. Can't get baby, TENDER, squid here in Texas. Not having much luck w/papaya just now.
