I know that in most homes...
people don't like to hear the words...
"Clam Up!"
But in our home...
It is a welcomed phrase!
For when we "clam up"
it means that my men
have hit the mud flats...
and either steamers...
or clam "chowdah"
or fried clams are on the menu...
Sometimes...all three!
What a blessing to have a husband
who enjoys shucking out clams!
This time it was fried clams...
complete with my husband's
secret coating recipe!
 |
| Crushed up shells are good for their egg shells! |
Even our "ladies"
got in on the fun!
As we enjoyed this wonderful
blessing from the sea
again this weekend...
I am reminded of the need
for "clamming up" occasionally...
" Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths,
but only such as is good for building up,
as fits the occasion,
that it may give grace to those who hear."
Ephesians 4:29
And so...if I ever tell you to
"clam up"...
please don't take offense!
What fun and looks very yummy!!! Hope you had a really good weekend.God bless my friend. sending prayers for each of you.
ReplyDeleteDear Judy,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by...I've been "out of the loop" for awhile. Yes, they were extremely yummy, and the best part, my husband prepares them from start to finish! He has the best fried clam recipe going, in my opinion!
Hope you and your sweetie are doing well...we continue to hold you both up to Him.
With love,
Laura
