Word for the day

Last night, while reading bed time stories to the Girl Child, she stumped me. She asked me how to say "clam" in French. I could not remember at all. So I looked it up this morning when I got to work in my handy Larousse. In French, clam is palourde. And now I know exactly why I could not remember this word last night. I never knew it before.

1 With French you can always wing it. Just add a "le" at the front and an "é" at the end. Clam becomes "le clamé".

2 And talk louder. You always have to talk louder.

3 You obviously don't stand around reading the food can labels while you're cooking!

4 No, I guess not. That said, I rarely cook with clams. My wife doesn't like them.
