Friday Madness! This crazy teen beside me did not checked what was written in her student drivers license . Hmmm - - wrong address girlie! So, we went back to DMV ..and you know the routine, waiting, waiting, waiting ..and finally after an hour she was called.
Hungry teens craving for sushi lunch today - - good thing I was able to convince them to try mussels (this soup and SPAGHETTI WITH MUSSELS, CHILES AND MINT: Maccheroni alla Chitarra ) from the book. This took us less than 15 minutes to make as I skipped the process where Batali wants me to drain the cooked mussels, place it in the fridge to chill for a few minutes -- then finally, pour the hot soup on top of the cold mussels. Duh ! We're hungry! But it's so yummy.... such an easy fix and so tasty!
