Mussels in White Wine and Garlic

This recipe sounds fancy and will impress people, especially when you're just making it for an afternoon snack. However, it's actually really simple.

Ingredients:
6-12 Mussels
1/8 Cup Water
1/8 Cup White Wine
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Clove Garlic
Pinch of Parsley

Preparation:
In a normal sized soup pan, heat olive oil and parsley, add garlic. When the garlic is sizzling as you add it, add water, white wine, and mussels. Make sure to clean the mussels first. The mussels actually open up really fast, or did for me, so go ahead and cover the pan and let them steam a while anyway to make the flavour good. Take them out of the shells and serve or leave to steam/boil more in the sauce. Serve with some sort of 'hard-carb'. I recommend French Bread, cooked Italian Bread, or Town House Crackers. The Sauce is delicious too, so make sure to dip the carb in it and absorb as much as possible.
