So, I had a different post lined up for today, but then this happened...As I have mentioned before, I am slowly trying to be a grownup. This transformation has included listening to NPR on the drive in to my adult desk job. Well today, I realized I am just not a full grownup yet, when I kept laughing at the piece they had on geoducks in the Northwest. Not sure if you have ever seen a geoduck, but they have to be the least attractive shell fish, ever. The chef of Seattle's restaurant, How To Cook A Wolf describes them as this:
“This is going to get a little raunchy. As you can see the geoduck is a very phallic looking animal,” he said, standing in the stainless steel kitchen as two large clams sat on a shelf nearby, their foot-long siphons draping down.“So what we do is we bring them in, let them relax a little bit, let them go down and get out to its natural length,” Gifford quips. These necks can stretch to a meter in length.Don't worry, I got you this photo from this article, just in case you don't know what they look like.
Can't make this stuff up, people. Evidently, I still have the humor of a 13 year old boy; not sure that will ever change either. Anyway, knowing what the geoduck looks like and laughing at the piece on the radio today, I realized I still have a lot of growing up to do. I'll try better tomorrow.
PS. Sorry you had to read this, Grandma and Mom.
Cheers!
