What's on the menu for everyone today?

We're on the road, so don't know for sure where, when or what we'll be having.

No ideas yet. I'm going to be gone for the rest of the afternoon, so it will have to be something quick.

I have a bunch of basil that needs to be used as well as some frozen mussels so I may go this route:

I'll check with Tony first. I don't want to just "spring" mussels on him. LOL.

Well, now I can't get that link to open - just keeps going trying to load. Can anyone else get it to load and copy and paste it here for me? I've been trying for a half an hour on two different computers, on Explorer and Firefox.

Tonight, it's Japanese style pork cutlets on jasmine rice with a side of asparagus.

This is to funny, the Thai mussel recipe is from Yarrow Bay grill in Kirkland, Washington, I've eaten there. Delicious food!

Trixxee, here's the recipe.

2 13.5-ounce cans unsweetened coconut milk* (3 1/2 cups)
1 teaspoon Thai red curry paste**
1 cup chicken stock or canned low-salt chicken broth
1/2 cup (packed) fresh basil leaves
2 stalks lemongrass,** trimmed, coarsely chopped (about 1/3 cup) or 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons fish sauce (nam pla)**
3 kaffir lime leaves or 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice plus 1 1/2 teaspoons grated lime peel


2 tablespoons peanut oil
3 pounds mussels, scrubbed, debearded
4 plum tomatoes, diced (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Edited to add (because it may be useful):
Bring coconut milk to boil in heavy large saucepan. Reduce heat to medium; add curry paste and whisk until dissolved. Add next 6 ingredients. Simmer uncovered 10 minutes. Strain into bowl.

Heat peanut oil in large deep skillet over high heat. Add mussels. Sauté 2 minutes. Add strained curry sauce. Cover and cook until mussels open, about 4 minutes (discard any mussels that do not open). Transfer to large serving bowl. Sprinkle with tomatoes and cilantro and serve.

* Available at Indian, Southeast Asian, and Latin American markets as well as many supermarkets.

** Available at Asian markets and in the Asian foods section of some supermarkets.
