Periwinkles, the spiral-shelled saltwater snails that have been damagning our coastal marshlands…..love that you keep me learning!!!!
as far as butter, garlic and wine…I’m pretty open to trying new things…and at your house I would be polite enough to at least try them…but ewwww…Can’t see me ordering them from any resturant………….shuddering at the thought as I search for a tums…..
