With all the recent fanfare on Julia Child's, David wanted to watch her old "The French Chef" espisodes on DVD. Of course, that meant making a Julia recipe to go with the viewing that is easy for a school night endeavor. Moules frites was the answer but I was too lazy to even contemplate making frites at home. The answer? McDonald's!

The mussels were scrubbed and cooked in a mixture of wine, butter, shallots, bay leaf, and thyme.

The results were lovely and perfect with McDonald's fries and Japanese mayo.
