I ate snails in Paris. I do like clams... probably because I was raised near the ocean. Sadly I agree with how bad it is to cook something while alive like lobsters. I don't even like the idea of eating meat but that's a different topic. Sorry to hear about your mom, pneumonia and breast cancer. My mom passed away from cancer also. I have never heard of Beckers. Sidings? Maybe... there are a lot of new developments that look like that. See ya in the next one in a couple of days.
