Eclade (mussels Cooked On The Beach)

There is no question that obedience to God’s commands prompted by fear or merit-seeking is not true obedience. The only obedience acceptable to God is constrained and impelled by love, because “love is the fulfillment of the law” (Romans 13:10). God’s law as revealed in His Word prescribes our duty, but love provides the correct motive for obedience. We obey God’s law, not to be loved, but because we are loved in Christ.

INGREDIENTS

1 3/4	kg	Cleaned mussels
		Plenty of crusty French
		bread
		Chilled white wine to serve
		A large plank of wood, pine
		if possible
		about 1 metre/3ft
		square
4		Nails and a hammer
1		Sack full of hay, straw or
		dry
		Pine needles
		A box of matches
		A bucket of sea water

INSTRUCTIONS

Soak the wood in water for about an hour. Rest it on some stones if
necessary so that it lies flat.  2 Knock the tips of the nails into the
centre of the wood in a  2.5cm/1" square and rest one mussel between
each pair of nails,  convex side towards you and hinge pointing
upwards.  3 Rest another four mussels in between these ones and work
your way  outwards to create a massive rosette, using the larger
mussels first  and the smaller ones until last. This will require a
little patience  but it does work.  4 Carefully cover the mussels
completely with a layer of the hay,  straw or dry pine needles about
13cm/5" thick.  5 Set light to this here and there, and leave it to
burn until the  flames die down - you want it to burn quite hot for
about five  minutes.  6 Fan away the ashes, throw a bucket of sea water
over them to get  rid of the last of it and discard any mussels that
haven't opened.  Transfer to plates and eat with lots of French bread
and plenty of  chilled Muscadet.  Converted by MC_Buster.  Recipe by:

A Message from our Provider:

“Thankfulness to God is a recognition that God in His goodness and faithfulness has provided for us and cared for us, both physically and spiritually. It is a recognition that we are totally dependent upon Him; that all that we are and have comes from God. #Jerry Bridges”
