Mussels in white wine sauce

 You know that?: going to the market and seeing something, thinking NO you don´nt need it... at home: would now like to have this "something"... but you are invited for Dinner today, tomorrow for a Brunch and... and the really "knock out criteria": nobody but you like this "something". Ok who cares! After having beeing craving some days for those Mussels (= my something) I bought them finally! Ok I would have to eat them alone ´cause nobody else in my family likes them but sometime you need to do things only for you :). Is ´nt it?There was a little bit of a rest of white wine in the fridge, some yellow and normal carrots, celery and some green onion... Oh! ...and not to forget some dough for the Baguette ..also waiting in the fridge and delicious to accompain my mussels!
