Whenever we have <i>moules marinières</i> we abscond with a significant number of the shells (the <i>restaurateurs</i> have <b>never</b> objected, boil them clean and use them to distribute paint among students (in our case, gouache) as well as for our own pigments ground with the appropriate <i>liant de broyage</i>.Cataneahttp://antebathnotes.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-88374654641240244902011-08-26T10:27:39.538-04:002011-08-26T10:27:39.538-04:00I have both a kindle and Ipad2.

I've ...Those mussels look absolutely delicious! I've never lingered long enough over mine to realize that they do look a bit like a macaron. Usually there's a flurry of sauce and dipping of bread until I reach the end. Next time I'll try to slow down and savor their appearance...for at least a couple of seconds.<br /><br />If you have access to fresh mussels, they're super easy to make. And since you have control over what you put in the sauce there can be some lovely additions, such as sliced lemons, that would look nice in a painting.<br /><br />I decided to take a page from your notebook, or in this case your blog, and added the French word of the day widget.
