Mussels and Champagne Make for a Good Time

So, I dig mussels. Snail isn't all that shabby either, as long as there's a ton of butter and garlic to cover it up, or...enhance the flavor of the slow, slimy creature. Dinner at Bistro Du Coin was kick ass tonight. I don't know what I was expecting...but it was so much fun. I can totally see it as a place to go and drink some wine and chill out.
And while I'm not a huge fanatic of champagne or white wine, I was so happy to eat mussels and drink the bubbly! I think it's going to have to become commonplace. All of this excitement, is made possible thanks to Katie. Hope you had a happy birthday, compadre, it was fun for me.
I proceeded to win a ton of chips "playing" poker, and then lost a dollar after we started to actually play for money. Good times were had by all. Cheers to a great year ahead of you, Katie!
