tender little mussels in fragrant wine broth

If you want to sing because you have just eaten something delectable – if you want to feel like you are dining in the manner of aristocrats – if you want an absolute slurpy flavor explosion with each little bite of food, then you need to prepare and eat the mussels that I just had for lunch. Seriously. I’m getting really passionate again about my lunch but it’s completely valid.
Mussels are so good and easy to make. The strangest thing is trying to guard their little lives so much from store to home, then confirm that they’re all healthy and thriving, only to quickly extinguish those little lives in a steaming pot. I would be kind of sad about it if they weren’t so extravagantly delicious.

Last night’s dinner was delicious and I want to share it with you. Homey little brown potatoes get some panache by the addition of artichoke hearts, garlic and capers. Don’t be shy – the flavors are surprising – amazing. The minute the garlic and capers hit the pan with the browned potatoes and artichokes, you are overwhelmed with such an intoxicating fragrance!

john alma’s trout almandine My post on sole almandine reminded my mother that I have been anxiously awaiting my grandmother’s recipe for trout almandine. This is a fabulous dish, and I believe that trout is abundant in the markets right now.
