As I write this, he's sampling his way through Papa Joe's (20% seafood sale if you have a store near), buying mussels, fresh parsley and shallots for tonight. Thanks for catching the omission of butter in above recipe ... goes in the stock though garlic butter would be great finish also. Ah yes, spring ... since the snow melted not only did my husband find his spare car keys, spit into the garden by the snowblower, but tree trimmers just left after spending all AM pruning several gigantic trees. Wishing you a Happy Valentine's Day! (Do you have a site to visit? Been UP NORTH this winter? My daughter and several best friends are on their way to celebrate a spirited Valentine-less Valentine's Day at the lake :)joeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09569378877717221045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36141650.post-60447704747826496822009-02-13T12:23:00.000-05:002009-02-13T12:23:00.000-05:00Oh Joey I'm sorry.

This version also sounds wonderful. I love mussels anyway I can get them! I'm making your White Chocolate Cherry Shortbread today, hoping to cut into heart shapes. Another White Chocolate treat. We think alike.<BR/>Made the Cranberry Lemon Cream Scones this week and they were great.<BR/>The rose today brings hope for spring, as it is snowing now here in New Baltimore. My daffs are poking their leaves above ground. I hope these little sweeties don't freeze. Can't wait to see their sunshine!<BR/>Have a Loving Valentine's Day,<BR/>AnnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36141650.post-19339528780759582942009-02-13T11:32:00.000-05:002009-02-13T11:32:00.000-05:00Thanks Marnie ~ my heart also wishes you a delight...Thanks Marnie ~ my heart also wishes you a delightful Valentine's Day!<BR/><BR/>Though hard to capture, guess I have a thing for white flowers, Nancy.
