Sample Night At Whole Foods

One of the good things about going to the store frequently is that something new might catch your eye (like a black radish), or they will be sampling things that you would never think to cook for yourself - like steamed mahogany clams. But they were sampling them, and they were very good, so I bought them and made them for dinner. Steamed with onion, garlic, parsley, lemon juice and a little water. Served with some bread (the rest of the loaf was thrown away and covered with coffee grounds or else it would have ended up with butter and salt on it and in my belly.) They were very good, and filling.

I also bought an artichoke.
