Huh. Needs to fatten up in the summer does he? He can just follow me around for a while. My sister always annoyed me too...she was always skinny as a rail. Not so now though, which makes me grin. (Don't tell.)<br /><br />Anyway. The seafood book looks wonderful AND helpful. I do love mussels and clams and we enjoyed them so much recently when my daughter was home. I always steam them in white wine. Never thought about nuts, but have always preferred pecans to walnuts because I think they're bitter. Did you find that?Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10038190964528332030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1043567387409721448.post-805771458929170812011-09-21T20:57:50.858-05:002011-09-21T20:57:50.858-05:00Loving the pesto for this clams!Loving the pesto for this clams!Dewihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03042444512389457494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1043567387409721448.post-7475315465120062252011-09-21T20:42:32.153-05:002011-09-21T20:42:32.153-05:00Thanks so much for the kind words :D And um, not o...Thanks so much for the kind words :D And um, not only does this look legit - but those cowboy cookies are calling my name. for real!
