So today Water was everywhere. Today was ruled by Water. Today was pressure wash the greenhouse day at work, It rained all day long, and for dinner I was lucky enough to receive 50 clams from a friend. So I figured why not try out my hand with a "recipe blog". So this entry will be about one of my favorite things... FOOD!!!"Forrest's Fantastic Clams"
