The plan for Saturday was a trip to
Mahone Bay & Indian Point for the second annual
Mussel Festival. I've been looking forward to it ever since Peter Darnell of
Indian Point Marine Farms told me about it back in
December. It was marked in my calendar and I was even going to write about it for
Foodtv's blog...story telling, touch tank (perfect for my grandson), mussel & wine tastings (perfect for the rest of us).
But Saturday came, along with lots of rain...buckets full in fact, and being fair weather friends, my Honey and I thought we'd put off the festival until Sunday (sunny weather was expected) and, instead we went to
Coastal Coffee , a great little place just a few blocks from us, for a delicious breakfast of Eggs Ooh La La (scrambled with bacon, sauteed mushrooms & brie...I'm still drooling) and a giant Cappuccino. That was followed by the usual errands and when we got home, my daughter called and asked if we wanted to hang out with them...never able to say no to spending time with the cutest boy...
Somehow running around in the rain to do my own errands is a chore...but running around doing my daughter's with her was fun (my Honey ended up babysitting Boaz in the car...he fell asleep on the way-Boaz did, not my Honey). Back at her place we made some cookies, played some silly games and, because I bought some veal stewing meat earlier in the week...such a steal...$5.00 for 3 lb/ 1.3kg!!!! - Normally I can't even find any except at the fancy shops and then only at outrageous prices, but I digress... we made a delicious, hearty ....
...which means I can count this as my entry for
Presto Pasta Nights this week.

Looks delicious! BTW, your hyperlink to the recipe has a boo-boo.
Vicki, thanks so much for pointing that out. It's fixed and ready to try.
I'm so jealous - I love Mahone Bay and to be at a mussel festival just outside of Halifax would be the ultimate of heaven for me.
