Mussels in Guinness & Garlic

"This recipe is based on one of the most popular starters at "The Brazen Head" in Dublin, Ireland. This pub is reputed as not only the oldest in Dublin, but also as one of the oldest pubs in all of Ireland...serving patrons for 800 years. "The Brazen Head" is known for providing good food and drink, traditional Irish music, and, of course, lively conversation. Pub grub has always been some of my favorite food. Don't wait for St. Patrick's Day to enjoy this wonderful dish!!!"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I recently celebrated my 19th anniversary living in SW Florida. I moved here from Massachusetts, just north of Boston. As much as I miss family back home, I truly love living here - the beaches, the tropical beauty, the people, and the weather (except the hurricanes!). Everyday is just another day in Paradise. I work at the new international airport here in Fort Myers. I have an opportunity to meet many different and interesting people from around the world. I've had an interest in cooking since I was a little boy, following my grandmother around the kitchen. Since I wasn't blessed with any artistic or musical talent, I think cooking was my way of being creative. My passion is my family and friends. My second passion is cooking for them. My favorite way to entertain is informally...brunches, cookouts, and small dinner parties. Just relaxing, enjoying each other's company, some good food and drink, and a little fun are the only rules of the house.</p>
