If not, I hope someone starts carrying it, because it's delicious and has a great price.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />BenitoBenitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642446480589939085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-6002739927752155122009-05-23T10:04:22.797-07:002009-05-23T10:04:22.797-07:00Benito-Fresh Market for real dry cured Spanish Cho...Benito-Fresh Market for real dry cured Spanish Chorizo. Mantia used to have the same brand (Palacios, which just so happens to be my mother's maiden name). Where did you get the Cooper Mt? I didn't know it was available here. <br /><br />Mussels, blue cheese, bacon, white wine. Heaven.

When I read the news you were the first person I thought about, such good news, and lets hope a move that will inspire other states to follow.<br /><br />Your mussels look fantastic and I love that Bourdain preperation, although I like to do it with clams and use Spanish chorizo, the cured kind...just like that extra saltiness. Bread is all you need...but I have been known to dice up potatoes and let them cook in the broth, what's a few extra carbs right?Samantha Duganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214278596698698245noreply@blogger.com
