Thank God For Small Favors

It's October, and instead of enjoying the air of the -Ber month (hey, it's 81 days to go before Christmas!), I'm going home soaking wet. I don't know what's with Mother Nature these days, but I personally believe that another typhoon is no longer needed as the year ends. Anyway, anybody would agree with me if I say a cup of hot coffee or hot cocoa would be very much appreciated on cold days like this. I am a self-proclaimed coffee addict, and I would love a cup in any day, on all occasions. But then, I decided to make this day special. I realized I wanted more than a cup of freshly brewed coffee. I want a bowl of soup. Seafood soup preferably. So I did a quick tour to the grocery and grabbed some mussels and made my soup. Below is the complete recipe for it.

1/2 kilo mussels (it sounded good)
1 medium onion
1 medium garlic (I would need at least 5 cloves, crushed)
ginger, salt, cooking oil
malunggay leaves

- Heat cooking oil in the sauce pan. Add garlic, onion and ginger.
- Add the mussells, then pour 3 cups of water. Let it boil.
- Add salt to taste, then the malunggay leaves. Let it simmer for 3 to 4 minutes.
