There are certain benefits to living in the Maritimes. Sure, beef costs a little more, and well, beef byproducts cost a little more, but seafood... seafood is cheaper. We saw in the Sobeys flyer that PEI Mussels were 99 cents/lb and being out here to experience the East I could not resist.
We went to the store, purchased that which we needed and did not have, and then stood waiting to buy mussels. The people in front of us bought ten pounds... for the three of us that might have been a bit excessive... so we thought that five pounds would do...
We got home, cooked up some pasta. I made a cream sauce using a roux then we added in bacon and garlic. We could really have used some pepper, but evidently that is not something I possess. We also cooked up some garlic toast that I had inherited from my roommate, and then we steamed the mussels... uh... not necessarily in that order.
Even if you are a student you can eat well if you have a Cook with you...
