Dinner

Last night I was in charge of making dinner. This seems to happen more frequently in NZ, I expect it is because of the new foods and recipes I want to try. Well back to last night ...

We had salad, pasta, and muscles. It was actually a feast, about 20 muscles boiled in white wine, garlic and olive oil; which was reduced to a sauce for the angel hair pasta; and served with a salad made with greens I have never tasted in the US.

Now this is the kicker. All up we spent $8 on dinner last night. Most of that was for the half bottle of wine I dumped in the pot. The muscles were $2.20 a kilo and we had 3/4 a kilo which means we spent about $1.5 on 1.6lbs of muscles.
