I would like to share with you an easy recipe for chili mussels in white wine with garlic. This dish always brings back memories of long summer evenings nights spent among a forest of sailboat masts glowing orange as they reflected the deep northern sunset.

How to Cook Mussels – Steamed Mussels with Garlic White Wine Sauce
Every Friday all summer long my two best friends John and Trevor John’s father and I would take the sailboat out to the Strait of Georgia to sail around Vancouver for a bit. I remember one Friday in particular we were sailing back from the Gulf Islands the fading light of the never-setting sun had turned the water a deep blue and the mighty spruce trees looked like peach fuzz on the coastal mountains it had been a great day on the water.
On the back of John’s dad’s boat tied to the railing was a small barbecue. John and Trevor helped the girls aboard while I prepared the barbecue. I took the cooking grate off and lit the flames; I didn’t put the grate back on because we weren’t really going to barbecue we were going to steam.
I had asked Carolee to pick up a few kilos of black mussels at the fish market. That's right I'm not going to romanticize this story and tell you that we caught the mussels ourselves although that would have sounded nice.
