Escargo Anyone?

This is one of the disgusting things we have to do when we garden. Kevin noticed there were several snails on one side of the garden, so we grabbed a drink bottle and started collecting. The kids had already been collecting snails during the spring but it was nothing like this. They must have just finished hybernating! We just didn't stop finding them, and they completely filled the bottle as you can see. DISGUSTING! Love the lable "Focus". There had to be over a hundred snails in there! The picture merely proves that we filled a 1 quart bottle completely with snails.
We use the bottles because we were told that snails eggs can still hatch after the snail is killed, so we put them in bottles with a lid and throw them away.

Hey! I thought your blog went private! Those snails are just creepy. Escargot is really good! They taste like mushrooms. You should learn how to prepare it in case all, and I mean all, food supplies are gone. At least you could survive! You'd be living like the French!

I think your decision about Disneyland is spot on! It'll be perfect.
