Cooking for someone special this weekend? here's a quick and easy to prepare meal that'll knock their socks off [or stockings] if your lucky !

                      Mussels in Garlic Sauce.

We start with mussels. If you've Never tried mussels now's your chance. There delicious and best of all for those in a rush you can now buy them from the supermarket precooked, you'll find them in the chilled section or ask at the fish counter if they have one. They come in a flat pouch with a Garlic and Butter sauce. All you have to do is empty them in to a suitable container and Microwave for about Five minutes. Serve with a piece of garlic bread. The best way to tackle them is to hold between fingers and thumb And pick out the flesh in one go with a fork. Any mussels that have not opened should not be eaten.
