This is so fun!!! (Yes, I am totally fine with anyone adding any photos or videos or posts or comments or whatever into my threads - so long as they are kind of course - but yes, yes, certainly post away - the more the merrier and it doesn't just have to be about "MEEEEEE" and I really love seeing all the things)!!! So go right ahead and share away!!!! Always!
First off, let's see...Dcarch!!! You Rockstar with this eggplant and all!!! That is GORGEOUS!!!!!!! Just exquisite!
And Mel, I usually put the whole CLOSED shell right onto the smoker - as I did some weeks back in my "sabering Champagne" video, with whole oysters and clams placed right on the smoker until they opened. On Christmas day however, I had opened mussels (on the half shell) that I smoked (only smoking a few) to lend a tiny bit of flavor, and mix that with the steamed. It was lovely!
My fishmonger got in tons right now and so I'm eating another quickie 'something' today with mussels too! Delicious!
And Mick, I am VERY excited, as always, to see what you are making!!!!! I can smell it already through the screen - how wild!!!!
Happy Friday to all!!!!!!!!!! Cheers!!!!!! - Leah
