Shell game

Snail shells. Probably store-bought for stuffing and serving. I don't know when, if ever, we used them. We've got snail dishes that obviate the need for shells. Another one of life's little mysteries.

Shells for escargots.

It's just over six degrees this morning. Not really all that cold, but I feel cold. Like, wrap up in a blanket cold.

  1. 6 degrees is plenty cold for me! The snail shells make me think of Guylain chocolates, which is how I’d prefer them.
