An R in the Month

Another lovely day, a bit damp, a bit sunny and a bit fun.

As it's now September, we had the first of the seasons mussels. Our Italian chum always insisted that we should only eat wild mussels when there is an 'r' in the month, so we can have fishy treats from now until May.

I was reading Nigel Slater today and he was saying that he was so ill after eating a rogue mussel that he had to redecorate. He never specified which part of the house - he left that to our imaginations

That aside the mussels were delicious in tomato sauce with pasta, so if we call for an emergency house decorator during the night you know what's happened.
