Sake Mussels with Garlic Butter

Decided to keep the shoes. My feet fit the shoes okay in the morning.

We didn't use grill for dinner tonight. Maybe it's because I undercooked hamburgers for lunch - underestimated the time needed to cook frozen patties compared with defrosted patties. Or maybe it was because I didn't want to feed the skinny & hungry-looking mosquitoes resting outside our screen door.

Anyhow, after sunset we went to King Soopers to get grapes and turkey. It was our 3rd consecutive day at King Soopers so RyanC felt right at home. He tried to re-arrange some little containers in the dairy section and then I had to pick him up to keep up with our tight schedule - or empty tummy. We bought more turkey, grapes (2 bags of red grapes with seeds and 2 bags of seedless black grapes), munster cheese (RyanC's favorite cheese at this time), and 2 lbs of mussels.

Wife quickly cooked the fresh mussels in sake with garlic and butter. RyanC left a trail of toilet papers in the kitchen during that time but we soon forgot about that. The mussels tasted really awesome! We finished it in no time and RyanC ate a few too. The little grape lover later devoured all the black seedless grapes he could get his hands on. Sometimes it's almost as if he eats grapes for main-course and the rest are just appetizers... At least his diarrhea is mostly gone!
