Thanks for all your birthday wishes the last couple days – and guess what? There’s one more! Yep, I have three birthdays in a row – today is my Momma’s 71st birthday! Happy Birthday Mom!
She’s going to the symphony today, so I am meeting her on Sunday after church for lunch to celebrate. š
So I’ve been curious to try mussels for a while now. I see them on blogs, etc., and they just look good. Mind you, this is coming from someone who grew up only eating 2 vegetables (carrots and cucumbers thank you) and never had a microscopic piece of any type of seafood even come close to my mouth.
So on the menu it has mussels in either a spicy tomato broth or white wine sauce. Um, you all know that I picked the spicy broth!
I apologize for how dark the picture and video is – it was really dark.
And now for the video proof! I am trying to think if I’ve ever had a video of my voice before on this blog, and I don’t think so! Next time I VLOG I promise you will actually see my face. š And listening to this I really have a Chicago accent, don’t I?

Tony tasted one and he said they weren’t as briny as he remembered and promised if I ate them again I wouldn’t like them. But I did really like them!
We had a wonderful evening out, came home to watch Big Bang Theory and the Office season premieres – oh, and I may have had a couple glasses of this!
Alright, gotta get moving this morning, so a short post – let me know what you think of the VLOG!
Make it a great day!
If the mussels weren’t briny, they were probably farm raised. I’m not a fan of mussels, but Guy loves them, along with clams and oysters their cousins. He craves all of those, but I never even think about them. And, PS, my allergist says avoid, because they’re loaded with pollutants.
Add another birthday to the list – I’m tomorrow – so come to NY & we’ll go out to eat…drink wine…and do a VLOG together! š
I have to listen to it again, but you sounded like a teenager & Tony sounded like Jim Belushi. š
Happy Birthdays coming your way. Ew yuck–no mussels for me, please. (but I do eat onions!). It was fun, though, to see and hear you. On the challenge front, 3 1/2 down, 16 1/2 to go! Thanks for helping get me off my duff and back in the good fight.
Mmmm, mussels. Love them so much. You should try smoked mussels as well – divine!
Yay, I love the vlog and hope you’ll do more! I don’t know what a Chicago accent sounds like, but you sounded a little northern, like my friends in MN! I might be mistaken–you weren’t talking enough for me to really tell, and it wasn’t very strong if it was there. Do you think I have an accent when you watch my vids? I never think i do but that’s because I sound like everyone else to me! lol
You do have a bit of an accent, but not too much!
i’ve never tried mussels. I”m not one to eat much out of the sea. I’d love to see more vlogs, how fun! I didn’t notice any accent so I must have the same one!
Thank you for visiting my blog! I have never tried mussels, but I hope to try them some day. Love your vlog. Hope you had a great birthday!
I love mussels, especially spicy ones! Love the vlog, you are just too cute! (accent and all!) Tony was funny in the background too! š
I like mine with white wine sauce. And bread for dipping. yum!
You are so cute. I don’t think I have ever heard a Chicagoan [except actors attempting it] but definitely an accent there.
You would scream “southern” if you ever heard me vlog. heehee
