Clam Meringues

"Yes..it sounds a bit strange! It's a delicious and unique appetizer to start a nice Italian seafood based meal. Not really suited to take to a party as these needs to be served straight out of the oven."

Born in Macon Georgia. Met a wonderful British lady while playing spades one day..and the rest is history! Hope to get back to Georgia soon -- I miss being able to buy simple things like Crisco (or any kind for that matter!) shortening, Corn Meal, SNOW CRAB!!! I love "smoke cooking", that's not so easy over here either! <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket">
