About

I found some beautiful clams at the market today.  They caught my notice because a cheeky one spit at me as I walked by.  The shells have dazzling designs and are full of meat inside.  I was going to make something a little more complicated, but my class ran way over and the steamy night called for a chilled glass of wine and simplicity.  It is also great idea for an easy summer appetizer.
