Mussels and Clams

The last couple of days have been busy. On Thursday the boys started out by getting up early again to catch some more salmon. My freezer in now officially full of frozen fish. There will a couple of salmon dinners in the near future. I think salmon is about one of the only fish Paul will eat.

The rest of the day was spent taking the dogs on a long walk to Larabee State Park and then to Taylor’s Shellfish to buy some fresh clams and mussels. Taylor’s farms shellfish and has a small retail store that you can buy clams, oysters, mussels, crabs and fresh fish. The shellfish I bought were harvested that morning, so you know they were fresh. I found an easy recipe for mussels and pasta and cooked that for dinner on Thursday. As you can see by the pictures, it not only looked delicious, but tastes great too!

Yesterday we went to the Mercantile in Anacortes, early in the morning for their once every three week sale. The Mercantile is a resale store that sells estates. The owners accumulate items from estates, so from sale to sale you never know what will be available in the store. They also price everything so that it is affordable and sells quickly. It was as experience. After that, we had lunch and then we walked around downtown Anacortes and shopped.

The rest of the afternoon was spent helping David get his wood shed covered so the rain that is expected to hit today won’t get the wood wet. I didn’t get much pictures yesterday because my battery went dead and had to spend the afternoon charging, but I got this one of Sienna showing off her new teeth

Our adventures continue. DD
