Once in a while, I'll have this craving for shellfish. If we're really lucky, the supermarket will stock fresh shellfish for the day.
And it was our lucky day. A simple mussel rice pilaf and clams in white wine sauce made a satisfying dinner.
Since the man's knee was still wobbly, of course I had to pretend-cook, pretend-stir, pretend-watch-over-the-stove and pretend-serve.

you're hilarious babe! pretend-cook??!! hahahah. i can so see u posing for the piccies!
wooohooo!!! i like the title!!! masak masak INDEED!!!!
Sounds really yummy. Ooh, but isn't cleaning out those shellfish before cooking such a hassle?
You look kinda domesticated in the pics.
ok....you look very good doing pretend-stir.
rachael + jazzgal: bleah.
fen: no hassle actually. they're alive. so just lots of soaking to get rid of the sand and grime. quite easy.
dr: em[phasis] on 'l-o-o-k'. heh.
meteor: oh, yeah. i can pretend-stir VERY WELL!
i assume you didn't have to pretend-EAT?????!
Shellfish.. Yumms!
Heh masak masak.. you had me reminiscing about my fav childhood play.. second to paper dolls! :p
Hmm, just looking at the food in the pics is making me hungry!
wah impressive! (even if pretend)
hey do you use cooked rice for the pilaf (in the recipe) or do you just put in the uncooked rice? (Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question..I wanna try someday!) :)
phil: oh. real-eat for sure!
jun: hahaha. it must be a sign. i never even took one look at all the masak masak thingies i have!
cdr: when i scroll through other blogs' food posts, i get sudden cravings too!
corsage: the vegetables in the pot are already saute...then put in the uncooked pilaf grains, coat it in the oil (olive) and vege, add in the salt and the wine. sort of fry the rice for a minute, then add chicken/vege soup stock. finally, add mussels.
i wouldn't know how to cook shellfish. it's always been chicken beef pork and vegies everytime. hahaha
gooodshithappens: naah. we got bored. and surfed the internet for recipes. then pray very hard we don't get it too wrong!
