Ärende: RE: crunchy clams 61
============================
Hey Michael!

->  -> Ah: technique failure. You rinse each clam in the nectar
->  -> first before eating it; then when the time comes to drink
->  -> the nectar, you sip very carefully indeed.
->  HN> No failure of technique on my part. 
->  HN> I did my best to get all the sand out
->  HN> of em
-> 
-> The proof of the failure of technique is in the eating.
-> I am capable of rendering your average softshell sand-free,
-> and so should you be. 
-> 
Perhaps these weren't your
average softshells...they were
sandier than the Sahara!

->  -> The Harbin was pretty light; and the Ichiban is as close
->  -> to Lite as you can get without admitting that, and you
->  -> can perhaps try that on your own, next time it gets to
->  -> be 105 degrees out.
->  HN> got to 94 yesterday
-> 
-> That's almost Ichiban weather. Yesterday here it got only to 81,
-> but the humidity varied between 67 and 93, and I had numerous
-> beers. At the ballpark, though, no such is sold, and I remained
-> dry throughout, except for shedding a tear at the performance
-> of the Peabody team, which blew its only rally chance with
-> baserunning booboos (it got its only run on a baserunning
-> booboo - kid was caught dead to rights trying to score from
-> 2nd! on a ground ball out, and though he was barely past
-> halfway down the 3rd base line when the catcher got the ball,
-> the catcher dropped the ball). And was less than stellar in
-> the field - a couple dropped flies were counted as hits, and
-> even then 5 of the 10 San Antonio runs were deemed unearned
-> (they all should have been, according to the Bucks County LL
-> coach sitting next to me). After the game I repaired to a
-> neutral location and had a few brews.
-> 
Our Northwest team fared no better, losing earlier
in the day to the Staten Island team. Ah well Mercer
Island VS Staten Island....what a match up! 

->  HN> Well we lost to the Yanks again on saturday
->  HN> but wholloped the bejabbers out of them on 
->  HN> sunday which was less than 1000 shy of a full
->  HN> house
-> 
-> Well, the Dead Sox lost by the same number as the
-> Peabodys. Friend of mine from Westchester went on a
-> big gloat, which I didn't appreciate.
->
The Sox are making a dive for the 
basement it seems....sad to watch!
The M's are not totally out of the 
race yet but it will take some great
plays and a lot of luck...which is an
unlikely scenario.
 
->  I took
->  HN> glee in letting all the yank fans know they must 
->  HN> have brought some bad luck to the team (grin), and
->  HN> I thanked them VERY MUCH for coming and jinxing 
->  HN> the Yanks! (grin)
-> 
-> Such a host you are.
->
I was MOST congenial!! It was only with
the most vocal "in your face" yank fans that
I did this with...and it felt goooooood! (grin)
 
->  HN> cooking! (grin) Weather should be nice and I'll
->  HN> have a beer or two with my steaks, and burgers.
->  HN> Don't know if they will have chicken and ribs this
->  HN> year, as I'm not one of the facilitators anymore.
-> 
-> They'll need you, for sure.
-> 
There are many who will be there who will
want me to be the cook...with my knee the 
way it is, not gonna happen this year. I may 
not even stay for the full day. But I am going
to load up on protein!! None of the beers 
there would meet your approval though I'm
afraid. But I'll check em out to make sure!!
chat with you soon!
