Thankfully, I think I redeemed myself with dinner tonight. As a Maine girl, preparing steamed mussels just comes like second nature. The chorizo, fennel, and white wine were new additions and added a lovely layer of spice and sweetness which balanced quite well with the rich, sea salty mussels. -mro
At Molly's grandparents' little house in Maine, dinner always begins with cocktails, and cocktails are always poured at 5 o'clock sharp. When the flurry of food preparation is through, dinner is baking in the oven and the table is set, her grandparents sit down together to enjoy a little peace, quiet and that final gin and tonic of the evening. When you hear them say "One and Supp?" it simply means, do we have time for one more cocktail before supper?
In our Brooklyn home, this tradition of food, drink, creation, and communion continues and this blog serves to document our home cooking and the care that goes into making such daily celebrations.
