Dad's been making stuffed mussels.  Gawd... MMM. It's a beloved street food here, but of course home made is always safer. We collect them from our beach. A lot of people seem aware of the treasure though,lol. Myeh.

Cooked shellfish are OK, but as a youth, I did try raw clams (not muscles) and raw oysters.  I prefer my oysters smoked in oil in a can.

I approve of the eating of mussels.

Oh yeah, didn't think of that. It could be an acquired taste for the most. I have eaten it all my life.

Mussels are a Belgian national dish, served with fries ( and mayo traditionally) .
I eat them once or twice a year. I love 'em. But the portions in Belgium are rediculous. So vast I can' t manage to bring myself to eat them more than twice a year.

Never had it myself, but 'paling in 't groen' is often eaten here'. Supposed to not be bad at all. It's eel.

That sounds 'heavy'. Ours is much lighter and eaten/paid per one -changes according to the size- in street vendors with lemon. It's actually common competition people get into when drunk. Closing a vendor when you're 3-4 people at night. We used to do that. You get out a pub, drunk, catch one and circle it to buy it all so no stranger will get in. LOL

Citrus on shell fish, good idea.  Wine vinegar would probably be good on it.

I really sing the praises of an old cast iron skillet. This one from Birmingham Stove And Range could easily be 100 years old. What a beast, cooks like a champ. We just use olive oil to season despite of what the experts say. The original no stick pan.

Day before yesterday, the GF made a delicious Quiche.
Made with leftover cauliflower from the day before, fresh brocolli and carrots, and minced meat.
I cut the veggies, she did the rest. Delish. Shredded cheese on top.



This morning, it was a holiday, I made my first ever cheesecake. Worked out very well, even if I say so myself.

Made a vegetarian lasagna with pumpkin instead of the pasta-layers. Pretty good if I say so myself. The gf made the white sauce. Me the red. Will try to update with a pic later.
Yummy and low in carbs.
Light cheese too.

Reminder to self:

No cooking while having a wine-buzz on AND listening to 'last week tonight' by john oliver.

Cooking is an 'Or-Or' kinda deal.

Ouch... I did once while hacking up a cabbage for haluski, took a good quarter of my nail and fingertip off.  It eventually grew back nail and all, but eek.

I did the same to my index finger chopping up some cabbage, as well.  Took the tip and part of the nail.  It healed, but there is a scar under the nail.  My Dr. at the time had a fellow Dr. helper from Argentina.  He cleaned up the cut and suggest I put sugar on it,  and on all cuts about this size.  I guess that is the thing to do in Argentina.  It worked for me--formed a sort of crust over the cut until the scab hardened.
