@aqui561 I made this soup over the weekend and it was very good. However, it took longer than 30 minutes for the chicken and squash to roast. I left it in the oven for about 45 mins. I used my stick blender to puree the squash and put chunks in later. Was even better the next day.

Authentic Greek grape leaves. Marinated rice with spices.

Desi Roti - 430 E. 14th Street - Great Indian Food. An all you can eat buffet for $6.99. Delicious. With the exception of 1 or 2 dishes, all entries are under $8.00. Enjoy.

Thanks jewfoodie.

@big al - google "how to make mussels" You should come up with some good recipes. Trust me they are easy to make. You are cooking the mussels in a covered pot. The liquid should not evaporate. My recipe is white wine, garlic, sliced shallots, fresh parsley. In a large pot put (off the flame) pour one cup of white wine - lots of chopped garlic, butter, stir for about 5 minutes, tasting the liquid - season more for your taste if necessary (I also add a little soy sauce and lemon juice). Empty cleaned mussels into the pot and cover - the steam will open them in about 3 to 4 minutes. Open pot, stir them around and empty into a large bowl. Discard any mussels that don't open. I hope this works for you.

Why do people think they have to force-feed themselves around holidays? I generally eat whatever I want throughout the year. By the time Thankgsgiving an Christmas comes around, I just want yogurt, crackers and water. Although I do crave pumpkin pie during these holidays. Does anyone else feel this way? Have a Happy New Year!

The mussels will open from the steam of the covered pot. They will open after about 4 to 5 minutes. You should not have to add any more water. The wine gives them a much better flavor. I make mussels at home about twice a month. Once you make them you will be so surprised at how easy they are. Happy a Happy New Year.

@Calypso57 - you are right on point with the recipe. I never knew about a recipe, I just remembered how my mother made them each TG. However, I don't put quite as much sugar. Everything else is exactly what I use to make sweet potatoes - taste good cold also.

I am also a big fan of Bells. I add sauteed onions, celery, mushhrooms and homemade chicken stock - delicious.

If you are a foodie, let him go. Why compromise on one of the most enjoyable aspects of your life. From what you say about him, I think he is just narrow-minded and stubborn. To say I don't like mustard and not try anything with mustard on it is childish. There are a great many different tasting mustards. Look at the bigger picture - he is not even willing to compromise. You will always be on the shorter end of the stick. Good luck in your decision.
