      If
      you're
      looking
      for
      a
      cheap
      and
      dif-
     
     
      ferent
      meal
      idea,
      PEI
      Cultivated
     
     
      Mussels
      are
      really
      cheap
      right
      now
      (I
     
     
      got
      a
      kilo
      for
      $3
      at
      Sobey's).
      Here's
     
     
      how
      to
      cook
      them-
      so
      easy
      a
     
     
      University
      student
      could
      do
      it.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      1)Buy
      your
      mussels
      (One
      serving
      is
     
     
      about
      |
      Ib,
      or
      a
      half
      kilo).
      Take
      them
     
     
      home
      and
      cook
      them
      that
      day,
      or
      store
     
     
      them
      in
      the
      fridge,
      but
      not
      for
      more
     
     
      than
      24
      hours,
      just
      to
      be
      safe,
      eh
      wah?
     
    
   
   
    
     
      2)Throw
      a
      pot
      on
      the
      stove
      and
      chuck
     
     
      the
      mussels
      into
      it
      (look
      at
      each
      mus-
     
     
      sel
      first,
      clean
      them
      if
      there's
      a
      little
     
     
      dirty
      and
      throw
      out
      the
      ones
      with
      bro-
     
     
      ken
      shells).
      If
      some
      of
      the
      shells
      are
     
     
      open,
      it
      means
      the
      mussel
      is
      still
      alive
     
     
      (this
      is
      good).
      A
      fun
      thing
      to
      do
      is
      tap
     
     
      the
      mussel
      on
      the
      counter
      and
      some-
     
     
      times
      they
      squeeze
      shut.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      3)You
      don't
      have
      to
      put
      any
      water
      in
     
     
      the
      pot.
      This
      cuts
      down
      on
      prep
      time
     
     
      because
      the
      mussels
      can
      steam
      in
     
     
      their
      own
      juices.
      If
      you
      want,
      you
      can
     
     
      cover
      the
      bottom
      with
      wine,
      beer
      or
      a
     
     
      bit
      of
      garlic,
      but
      I
      really
      don't
      find
      all

      taste.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      4)Crank
      the
      heat
      and
      leave
      them
      alone.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Don't
      take
      the
      cover
      off
      it
      for
      5-7
      min-
     
     
      utes
      (they
      won't
      cook
      properly).-Then
     
    

    
     
      look
      in
      after
      that
      time
      and
      if
      the
      shells
     
     
      are
      open,
      tuck
      in!
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Melt
      some
      butter
      if
      you
      want,
      dip
      and
     
     
      enjoy.
      It's
      an
      easy
      clean-up
      and
      seems
     
     
      kinda
      posh.
      I
      love
      steaming
      mussels.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      DON’T
      PRY
      OPEN
      THE
      SHELLS
     
     
      THAT
      AREN’T
      OPEN
      UNLESS
     
     
      YOU
      ARE
      FOND
      OF
      VOMITING!
