More Mussels

I always want more muscles and mussels. I go about getting them in different ways but always want more of both. I like to ride my bike, run, and do hard core garden workouts for the first kind of muscle. The second kind of mussel is much much easier to enjoy. They look like elongated clams or small smooth oysters, but the mussel is not something you see on menus in this country all that often.

Greek Feta Vegetable Salad

It’s nice when a vegetable salad can be prepared ahead of time. This one actually gets better when it marinates for several hours. It complements just about any Mediterranean main dish. Serve alongside roasted chicken, eggplant parmesan, pasta, or make it the centerpiece of a platter with hummus and pita chips.
