Appetizer Mussels

Recipesfull introduces to you: Seafood Recipes. (Appetizer Mussels). What timing! Although I have eaten mussels many times, October 17 was the very first time I cooked them, and (if I do say so myself!) they were great. A friend and I ate every last one, and he raved about the flavor the whole time. This is my own recipe.
