brussels: more than mussels
Adam and I took a day trip to Brussels over Spring break, and it far exceeded any expectations I had. That day, full of food, beer, fun... and more food, was my favorite of the whole trip. We were told that tackling Belgium's famous treats of mussels, frites, waffles and chocolate would be tough in one day, and gladly accepted the challenge. The result? Three helpings of frites, one pot of mussels, one Belgian waffle, innumerable chocolates, and a scrumptious pistachio pastry for good measure. I wanted to share these pictures because I think they turned out beautifully, and I just plain love food. I included some Brussels-inspired recipes below that received high ratings and positive feedback (though I have not tried them myself).
