Ok, I take it back...  (G)

They're night owls... maybe they could just meet you at the airport...
can't blame you for a bit of avoidance there...

We were supposed to be getting scads of heavy rain, all weekend. 
Yesterday it held off until later afternoon, and then we only got
regular rain, not terribly heavy... we had some rain overnight, but by
midday, things were pretty much dried out, and now the sun is shining,
and has been for most of the last few hours... ;)  On the basis of the
forecast, Richard did the church mowing on Thursday so it would look
halfway decent for Sunday.  Looks like it could have been done today,
after all.  :)

 NB>> You mean as in, snail butter, snails not included...?  :)
 ML> That was the gist of the recipe I posted!

 ML> Title: Snail Butter
 ML> Categories: Sauces
 ML> Yield: 100 servings
 ML> 4 oz Softened butter                   2 tb Chopped fresh parsley
 ML> 1/2 c  Finely chopped shallot          1 1/2 tb Salt
 ML> 2    Cloves of garlic                  1 ts Pepper
 ML> For snails a la Bourguignonne.  Preparation time 15 minutes. For 100
 ML> fair-sized snails.  Beat 100 g/4 oz (1 stick) softened butter with
 ML> 75 g/3 oz (1/2 cup) finely chopped shallot, 2 garlic cloves, ground
 ML> to a paste, and 30 ml/2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley.  Add 25 g/1 oz (1
 ML> 1/2 scant tbsp) salt and 5 ml/1 tsp pepper. [From "Larousse
 ML> Traditional French Cooking."] 

Quite so.  :)   It might make fewer than 100 servings that way, though.
