My wife sweet-talked me into helping out a friend of hers who is in the process of finishing her basement. Her clueless husband (who was surprisingly adept at framing, drywall, and tiling) had reached the point of helplessness in regards to the electrical work. He just was lost in a maze of 3 way and 4 way switches. A few quick suggestions later and he was on his way, and I got to play hero. No biggie. So I was completely taken by surprise when he rang my bell yesterday and gave me an enormous sack of little neck clams as a gesture of appreciation.

Lunch was clams posillipo, baked clams, and linguini with clam sauce. Dinner was clams in black bean sauce. Today I'm looking at a giant cauldron of- you guessed- clam chowder.

There's a 50/50 chance that I may not make it until morning.

Sounds like you're making great use of them.

Oh! I did once. I ate half of a 18 pound water melon one summer as a kid for lunch after I had finished my 2 hour swim team practice. I spent the rest of the day dropping the kids off at the pool. (aka, crappin' my guts out)
