Today Big Sister did some errands for me. She went to the grocery store to buy food for dinner. She bought Shijimi clams. She had asked me a long time ago why we don't eat them often.
I was reminded again today. Shijimi clams need to be soaked in salt water for three hours before putting them in soup. Why? "Because they've been eating sand," said Big Sister. So we will soak them tomorrow morning and eat them for lunch.
They weren't singing or snoozing like in Naomi Kojima's Singing Shijimi Clams. But, I heard them squeal. They also rattled around a bit. Now I don't really want to eat them! I feel like the witch in the story!
