Songs always seem to pop into my head. It’s so random, and so welcomed at the same time.
Today, when I was about to clean some clams, a tune from South Pacific popped in my head, and before I knew it, I was snapping my fingers, and singing along, ad-libbing my own words.

Shellfish come with a mass amount of sand in their shells.
Naturally.
To get the clams, or any other shellfish, to release the sand (spit it out), simply follow these steps:
1) Put the shellfish in a bowl and cover with water.
2) Add 2 tablespoons of flour to the water and stir to distribute.
3) Let shellfish soak in flour water for at least 5 minutes
4) Drain and rinse shell fish, and cook however desired.
Steamed clams….
Boiled clams….
Grilled clams….
