 This is the most important secret of domestic bliss, according to Ad- rniral Tsai Ting Kan of the Chinese navy.
 His theory isn't that the way to a mans heart is through his stomach. but that when a husband learns to cook it makes him independent of his wife, "and that is fatal"
 Love thrives on dependence. Man is the original clinging vine. not woman.

 You wash and scrub the shells un- der running water, then break the thin edges of the shell with a ham mer, insert a strong knife to sever the muscle that holds the two shells together, remove the upper half, and wipe the edges of the shell free from sand.
