"This is my contribution for the Canadian section for the Zaar World Tour. Prince Edward Island's cultured mussels grow tender, sweet and plump in long mesh stockings suspended in the water above the ocean floor. Now that mussels are supermarket-available and virtually pot ready, they make a fuss-free summer supper. The bonus? You can cook them right on the barbecue! I haven't tried these yet but will soon since i love Mussels and these sound wonderful!"

I am happily married to my best friend and we just bought our first house! No kids but we have 2 little dogs that we think the world of. I was born in California and although I have been on the East Coast for most of my life I am still displaced! I love the beach and hate the cold! In our free time we love to go to the beach or the mountains and hike or intertube down the lazy Shenendoah River. It is so beautiful there! I have loved to cook all of my life and will read cookbooks like they are novels!
