Male: Do you? So, you’re going to eat some of these mussels with me?

Carla: Yes, I will. Now, we have to take out the mussels from the shell, okay.

Male: Okay.

Carla: Meanwhile, this soup is cooking. Now, we have to add the juice of the mussels or remember that it’s the white wine.

Male: So, that’s kind of a mixture of the white wine and the juice that was inside the mussels.

Carla: Exactly, that’s what she said.

Male: Okay, just mixing these all up.

Carla: Yes. Now, we have to have to add the mustard.

Male: Okay.

Carla: And the curry. Remember the curry it’s a culminant, okay.

Male: Right.

Carla: It will give a special flavor to the cream. In fact, this dish is going to be served on July 26 for a wedding in Adobe Guadeloupe. So, Martha is practicing also. First of all, you have to set the mussels.

Male: You just kind of stock them all—

Carla: Yes. And you make a decoration.

Male: What I like about this is everything is local. The mussels come from the bay of Ensenada local.

Carla: The Ocean Pacific.

Male: And all the vegetables and everything come locally.

Carla: Exactly.

Male: Some red bell peppers and we have some parsley. She’s going to add on top of that. Then she’s explaining everything that she really likes the parsley because it’s a really strong flavor.

Carla: Exactly. That’s what we need because we were cooking with wine so we have to have the same flavor, strong flavor.

Male: Strong flavor in our soup.

Carla: Yes. And we have to go around the mussel, okay.
