I had steamed mussels ready to start when wife got home this evening,
since we had concert tix. I put garlic and diced oven-dried tomatoes
in the bottom of a 4-qt pot with a half cup of white wine, put in a
steaming rack, and all the mussels from about 2.3 lbs that closed.
Discarded about 5.

Steamed for 5 minutes, and served in bowls with a baguette. One didn't
open. I tossed it.

They did not taste like clams.

These were farmed mussels from Prince Edward Island, and didn't even
need to be bearded. Very easy dinner. Yum!
