We love Ian and the amazing Conch he brought us!

it was so heavy- our native friend Ian brought it for us with 4 lobster- isn't he great!- he wanted to "throw it on the pavement" so that he could give us what was inside to eat- WHAT?! obviously I vetoed that plan and boiled the whole thing- Ian thought I was crazy and he and his friend just kept laughing at my horrified expression...
Dave did everything to get it out- and finally did!

hooray!


the thing was huge...



we cut it up and it was delicious-

Kay, seriously? What are you trying to do to my tender stomach? I demand a post of nice pretty chocolate or something-- nothing that used to have a heartbeat and no boiling and cutting.

Does Jamie know she'll have to send you the chocolates?? ha!

That is one ugly creature though! I thought it would be a little slip of a thing-that was a monster!!!! How fun and exciting to learn all this cool stuff and have these experiences! I love it!

ha ha your mom is so funny I was thinking the same thing about the chocolate when I saw Jamie's post ha but yes you are learning such fun new things and PS Jason is so lucky to have you because if I was there I wouldn't know what to do and I don't think i'd ever eat lol. You know me...i'm not so in to fish and those sorts of things:)

What a taste bud delight. Knowledge is part of food storage.
Shortages are few when you know what to do.
The fun is always how and what you make of the game.
Looking good girl.
