Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat oven to 500.Heat a large deep skillet over medium high heat and cook the bacon until crispy. Remove to drain on paper towels, but leave the drippings in the pan.Add leeks and saute until tender, about 3-5 minutes.Add wine and simmer for a minute or two.Place mussels in large deep roasting pan and pour the wine sauce over them. Cover the pan securely with foil and bake for 15 minutes or until mussels are open.Push mussels to the side and stir in the butter, if using. Sprinkle all with salt.

Make sure you have a big bowl to hold the empty shells.

Food Joke

The local courtroom was packed as testimony began in the sentencing hearing of a woman convicted of murdering her husband of 20 years by poisoning his coffee. The defense attorney knew he had his work cut out for him trying to make his client appear more sympathetic to the Judge, especially since she had been so "matter-of-fact" about the whole thing all during the trial. "Mrs. Roth," he began, "was there any point that morning where you felt pity for your husband?" "Well... yeah... I guess..." she replied. "And when was that?" pressed the attorney. "Well...," she replied, "when he asked for his third cup."
