I'm on my way to the grocery now specifically for this challenge. My french lentil recipe is a favorite these days in our house. I'm excited. I'm going to get a nice beer to enjoy while cooking. wasoxygen once said to me, "Sundays are the best," he's spot on. Been a great day thus far and cooking is the perfect way to end it. I'm digging the #grubski tag.
Sundays are the best. As sous-chef, I may have accidentally qualified for the challenge tonight. We went to Costco yesterday and had to use the 4.8 pound bag of mussels today. From the receipt: Dinner conversation about how to store leftover mussels was resolved as we finished the mussels.
We only used one pot, not counting the big bowl used to give the bivalves the weird flour-water bath the Barefoot Contessa recommends. Only one cup of the Chardonnay went in the pot, but the rest wasn't wasted. There was some heavy cream too, and a variety of extras found on hand, but we were well under $20 per capita and had no regrets about not eating out all week. MUSSELS 11.08
