Well, I learned a new one this week when my family went to the Isle of Palms for a little vacation. The weather was great, i got sunburned in random places ie. the tops of my hands only, my ears and the tops of my feet! I went Jet Skiing in the ocean and saw tons of dolphins, played on the beach with my nieces and nephews, at ton more than I should have and got some needed R&R.

One night we found a shell w/ what looked like a muscle in it. So I boiled it, scooped it out and it was pretty gross, but my 5 yr old niece wanted to eat it. So I dissected it, she ate it and LOVED it. the next day we found all these similar shells w/ the "muscles" in it. I was a bit suspicious as they were all the same shells! But, I boiled them so my Sis-in-Law Ali could take the shells. These creatures ended up being some kind of weird snail with a weird curly green tail when you pull them out. It basically made me want to vomit and I still cant think about it!! My niece? Cried b/c we wouldn't let her eat more! ;) I asked my nephew what his favorite part of the trip was... not seeing dophins, beach, horses ect. ect.... he said "boiling the snails". Glad I could be of service ;)
