seafood

Yup, what you see in the picture is giant snail shells.  The word Escargot means "edible snail".  Honestly, when I saw the container of snail shells in water, I thought it would look cute on my coffee table with a floating candle on the top.  I rarely see escargot on menus at restaurants I frequent, I didn't think making it at home was even a possibility.

While visiting our friends Dave and Sandy in FL they informed me that we were having a seafood boil. YUM, I think. I had heard of them, but had never tasted one. Due to the fact that they couldn’t secure crab and crawfish (I was ok with that), it turned into a Shrimp Boil...

As part of the "Eat Downtown Duluth Restaurant Week," we've been brought dishes from restaurants to sample.  This morning JJ Astor brought us several wonderful dishes to try.  I thought I was eating some type of tiny pork chop.
