Today is Saint David's Day!, and he is like St. Patrick ONLY he took Christianity to the Welsh, while Patrick took Christianity to the Irish. LD It's not what you know, it's what you can prove | ||

On another related note, I was shopping today for a good lean corned beef for St. Patty's Day. I wonder what table fare the Welsh pick for their special day? | |||

Cockles are a had shell clam. their shell is also corrugated rather than smooth. The cockle is a very tough clam so we always ground them up for chowder. They are often found on gravely or more rocky beaches and can often by raked up rather than dug because they don't dig as deep as the clams on more sandy beaches. The razor clams of the Washington coast can dig deep and fast. They live in the fine sandy beaches where a clam gun or shovel can be used. the cockles we dug in Alaska could dig fast but often times the rockier beach would slow them down. We always dug them with a shovel but I did see a few people use a rake. One time while I was in high school, a friend and I dug them with a coffee can we found on the beach. I love clam Chowder and it doesn't matter what clams are used in it. Load fast and aim slow. | |||

St. Patrick chased all the snakes out of Ireland, too. That's how we get our Presidents. *Young guys should hang out with old guys; old guys know stuff.* | |||
