Mussels for dinner!

Yes, we were having mussels for dinner that day. No we didn't pay for it but we had earned it! It was a weird brilliant idea when Debbie said,"Let's go catch mussels!" (you serious??)

At first, i thought that phrase 'catch mussels' was funny. As if mussel can swim around, and you need to catch them. Later, i found it is a different 'catch' meaning altogether. Ok, at least i don't need to get wet.

I went along and see how they did it. I wanted to help, but i was busy taking pictures... hehe... Well, picking up the mussels from the river bank is not a very pretty sight. So i chose to stay with my camera.

A great mussel cookout, like what Denise said because everyone was doing their part in the kitchen. My contribution? Cleaning their shells. Yuck! Scrubbing off barnacles, seaweeds and other living marine organisms. Eeeewwww....

We had one hell of a good source of zinc and folate that day!
