Made the mussels. Observations:
1. Don't buy "fresh" seafood at Vons, or any other supermarket chain. I ended up having to toss about a third of them because they didn't open, which means the ones that opened were on their deathbed.
2. Jebus the house stunk for the rest of the night and even a bit the next morning.
3. Stuff like mussels, fried calamari, and oysters, etc., really need to be eaten in a restaurant with friends, and after a couple of drinks. Really not a make at home and eat by yourself kinda thing.
4. I'm going to make the garlic, shallots, butter, wine, parsley, and cream sauce again and serve it over linguini with some grated cheese. The broth was 10/10. The mussels were 5/10.
5. Been bad today. Milking drinks since 10:00 AM. Not drunk but very nicely buzzed. My enlarged liver isn't happy.
