Thank you! Lol... The feelings are mutual! I would like to say I
particularly enjoy those pics from you all. I might try to post some
(probably of someone else cooking) if I ever get round to it.

Thank you for "the artistic"

Heh heh. We love mussels too - they are tasty and pretty good value for
money IMHO.. We tried this one the other day - it was very good. Found
it while snooping around on the net...Here it is if you are interested:

-= Exported from BigOven =-

Midia Sahanaki (Greek Recipe for Mussels)

Recipe By:
Serving Size: 1
Cuisine: Greek
Main Ingredient: Seafood-Other
Categories: Tomato, Parsley, Oregano, Olive oil, Cheese, Seafood, Greek

-= Ingredients =-
1 kilogram Mussels (fresh if
200 grams Feta cheese
Green chilli (to taste,
1 large Tomato
Parsley
Oregano
Olive oil
Water

-= Instructions =-
THE MESSY BIT: Wash the mussels individually (dont forget behind the
ears!!), making sure no pieces of shell are still attached, and no sand
is left in the flesh. Also remove the tiny thread you sometimes find
in them - it is reported to be irritating to the stomach if ingested.
THE GOOD BIT: When the mussels are thoroughly washed and checked, put
them in a pan and add just enough water to cover them. Bring to the
boil, and boil for about five minutes. Then add three tablespoonfuls
of olive oil, and the chilli chopped into ringlets, as well as a
handful of not-too-finely chopped parsley. Grate the tomato, with or
without the skin, it is up to you, and add. Add the salt and pepper
(not too much salt, the mussels have their own). Boil for another
fifteen minutes (but not longer - the mussels will toughen up if
boiled too long - theyre funny that way!). About three minutes before
taking the pan off the heat, add the feta broken up into small pieces
and stir. Add the oregano just before you remove the pan from the
heat. THE GREATEST BIT: Taste it...

Cheers

Who, moi, Cheeky?

Sorry to answer all the posts backwards, but a) I am not really awake
yet and b) our normal newsfeed has been down since Monday - the excuse
is firewall problems <sigh> so I have been using Google groups.... and
c) Google has just changed their user interface - looks much more
"pretty" but is confusing the hell outta me. And OMG, they have added
a "rating" system for each post! I shudder to think how many wars
that's gonna start..... take a peek and you will see what I mean...

Thanks Wayne, although I am sure not everyone would agree with you I
really enjoy this group - just a pity about geography. I would love to
attend one of the groups' famous cook-ins and meet the faces behind the
"nicks".... and get to eat all that yummy food.

Now where did I put that lotto ticket?

Another keeper, thank you! I'll bet my husband would even eat this one - he
CLAIMS he doesn't eat sea monsters. I'm slowly changing his mind. :~)

That might not even be possible, and I for one would not go. Connections
are not reliable down there. <g>

well.
