Slice onion into large strips
Add two cloves of garlic, minced
Saute in olive oil

Pinch of red pepper flakes
Shake the pan (a deep pot, optimally)
Put in two pounds of mussels

Medium heat.
Check after five minutes.
Salt and pepper to taste.

Drink remainder of the bottle of cider.
Happy birthday, Stacey!
