The Robins tried Mussels from Penn Cove, Washington.
Penn Cove is located on Whidbey Island. The shells of these mussels are
thin and the meat is very full, and with a flavor sweeter than any other mussels, with not a trace of sand or grit.
 |
| Cleaning the Mussel was lots of fun. The Mussels were put in the red sensory tub with some water and the kiddos were given a toothbrush to brush, brush, brush the outside of the shell. |
 |
| We put the Mussels into a pan with butter. We added some pepper and salt too. We knewMussels were done when the shells opened up.Our next cooking project was Mac and Cheese Muffins…… |
 |
| INGREDIENTS 1/2 lb. of macaroni 1/3 cup of bread crumbs a little salt and pepper 1 tablespoon of butter 1 1/2 tablespoons of flour 1 1/2 cups of milk 1 cup of grated cheeseWe boiled salted water in a large pot and then we added the macaroni and cooked it until it was almost tender. We drained it and set it aside. |
 |
| Then we melted butter over low heat, sprinkled the flour into the butter and then slowly added milk. We whisked the sauce until it was thick. |
 |
| Finally, we added grated cheese and stirred until the sauce was smooth. |
 |
| We mixed in the cooked macaroni, bread crumbs and a little salt and pepper. |
 |
| We stirred and stirred and stirred some more. Until everything was mixed together. We put the mixture into muffin cups, and baked them in a 350 degrees for 8 minutes. The Mac and Cheese Muffins were enjoyed by everyone. The Mussels were not so popular, though many children tried them. We give the children kudos for trying a new food. Until next week and cooking with foods that start with N! Miss Julie and Miss Crystal |
