I could live on mussels too, I used to make them with chilli, onion, red wine, tomato puree and a tin of tomatoes but found even though it was nice the sauce was a bit heavy so now I just do them with
chilli onion, tin tomatoes and a bit of white wine, nice light and delicious.
I find now I'm particular about the brand of tin tomatoes I buy and i usually only buy Annalisa now, just tomatoes and tomato juice and nothing else added and usually cheap too.

Haven't really seen it on the menu here milanja, the last time I had it was like you in the states, had it in San Fran last year and it was yummo.

Had very few ingredients tonight, but made a spag bol which was as tasty, if not tastier than if i had the regular stuff i put in!

1 onion, bout 8 cloves of garlic, pork&veal mince, bout 300ml of white wine, bottle of tomato sugo, basil and parsley, bay leaf, dash of chilli, and put about a cup of MILK in after the second hour of cooking, left it all for one more hour, and wow i was impressed.

Always read about putting milk in, but never did it (thought it was a strange ingredient) but apparently it keeps the meat from drying out.

Will use this recipe for a little while now, usually i add carrots, celery, pancetta, and other bits and pieces, but this was just as good without.

I have a friend who sometimes puts a block of chocolate in his spag bol, have to admit I really couldn't taste anything different when I tried it.

I have a few friends who soak their chicken in milk before they grill it for the same reason.

My mother soaked a snapper in milk before baking it and it was beautiful to eat.

Poached duck eggs for breakfast and one was a double yolker yummmmm
