seafood!

how many of you went to the sexpo?!! *ehehehehe*

finally managed to log in as my desktop for work is still on the way, but i doubt i will be online while at work cos the new ofifice uses dial-up as well :( i don't think it helps when every major media is reporting about how workers are using compnay time to do personal errands on the net while on the job *dehem!* i asked myself to put myself in my boss's shoes and will i allow my employee to surf the net for other than work related stuff? and i can't sem to really pin down an answer. maybe because i am in employee mode and still leaning towards my employee mode of thinking :P

anywho...che lynn! thank you for reminding me and its the mussles in lemon butter sauce recipe that i owe you *slurp* its fairly simple and i hope you have a great time trying it out and enjoying it with the hubby :)

you will need:-

mussels - 1 kilo that you boil in salt. pls try to scrub each and everyone of em cos dirt tend to stick and you wouldn't want to get sick after eating em.
butter - 2 tablespoon of any kind of butter
chopped garlic - a tablespoon of that or chop like 2 bulbs of garlic. not to fine not to coarse, depends on how you like your're garlic
nestle cream - 2 cans of it (its sold in a round tin regular sized from any ntuc), i like extra sauce so that i can dip into it with bread
lemon - you will need to scrape the skin off and squeeze the lemon and this depends on your tastebuds. u like it more u squeeze more you like it less lemony then add just a bit ;)
pre mixed oregano or herbs - i always choose mccormicks, again from ntuc or any major supermarket

what to do:-
1. you boil the mussels till they are cooked and set em aside.
2. get a pan to melt the butter and throw in the chopped garlic to fry till fragrant.
3. pour in the cream sauce and stir till you see tiny bubbles. careful not to burn the bottom. oh! do everything on low heat ;)
4. throw in the grated lemon and squeeze the lemon juice
5. taste the sauce and if you like it then get a big wok (kuali lerrr) and throw everything in. turn the heat up and give it a good mix careful not to let any mussels fly as you toss em hehe

and your're done! we did it once upon a time at nyce's place and it tasted ok. practice in the kitchen always helps the food to taste better and remember to cook with love :D as corny as it sounds, i have always felt that it makes the food taste better. don't fret if it didn't turn out okay the first time round cos nothing does turn out the way you want it to be espescially the first time otey...good to eat with any kind of bread and with the fresh garlic and butter and herbs you can mix everything together and make your own garlic butter!

so thats just about it now till something else triggers my brain for another exercise :P miss you guys! espescially poww ;) star lite star brite...hope you forgive me for last min changes the other day and jihn....i'm wishing to see you before you leave.

stay sane,
