Clam Jam

Product Information

One of the artists that we approached to be in the show said that this was a brave but meaningless thing to do. A question I have become interested in while researching around the show was questioning whether female art exists, and should it? I adored Maggie and Ry. Both of them were so endearing and relatable which I simply loved. They are that kind of characters you cannot help but like from the first moment, so engrossing and charming. Maggie was a heroine with a wonderful personality. I loved it! She was fun, sweet and her monologues and her attempts to somehow stop the attraction she feels for her “gay” roommate made me smile, grin and laugh numerous times. As much as I adored Maggie, the one who charmed the pants off me and melt my heart was Ry. Ry was the sweetest guy ever! Besides the fact that he was sexy as hell, he was a sweet, caring and thoughtful with our heroine. The way he treated Maggie and his tenderness were really heartwarming and I have to say I loved his clam jamming. Totally cute and entertaining! I also appreciated the fact that he wasn’t interested in other women. He knew what he wanted and he was willing to do anything to get it.

There may be some who abhor the thought of Yachting Monthly referring to lines as rope, or you may have sailed with someone who proclaims ‘there are no ropes on a boat’. Ignoring the bell rope, bolt rope and foot rope there is rope. Lines are rope, as are halyards, sheets and warps. When we talk about rope-holding technology, we are securing the product ‘rope’, not a specific line. The female equivalent to a sausage fest. Can be any place inundated with females, where few or no men exist; basically a girls' club. I’ve just had a f*king hot-ass fantasy about my roommate. The one who’s just begun to date again. The one I’m in love with. While I’m supposedly gay. God, I’m f*ked up."Clam Jam – Place your cleaned clams over direct heat. They will begin to slightly bubble and then pop open. Once they open add them to your skillet, careful to retain as much of the brine as possible. Discard any clams that don’t open. Serve it Up – Squeeze in your lime juice. Stir your clams into the jerk broth. Garnish with extra lime wedges and your reserved scallions. Don’t forget the crusty bread! So if clam originated as a jazz term in the 1940s, rather than more broadly as an U.S. entertainment industry term by the early 1950s, a clam (wrong note) may have referred to the sort of mistake that a jazz musician would expect to encounter more frequently at a clambake (jam session) than at a formal, paying performance. The worst bits: Ryland is a totally sweet, totally besotted, totally dreamy beta male (who often talked like a girl). And I'm all for the rebellious, strong alpha. It's a personal prefernce of mine. After a year, they both give in to their attraction and sleep together many many MANY times, but to Maggie he's still fully gay.

Cleaning – There are multiple methods when it comes to cleaning clams including but not limited to adding them to salted water or throwing in a sprinkle of cornmeal. Sometimes keeping it simple is the best and also easiest. Give your clams a gentle scrub to remove any outside grit. Place them in a colander and put the colander into a larger bowl. Fill the bowl with cool water and allow your clams to soak for 10 minutes. Dump the water from the bowl and give the clams a rinse. Repeat the process another 1-2 times until there is no sand in the bowl. Your clams may open while they are soaking in the water. Give them a gentle tap to make sure they close. Discard any clams that remain open. Roma Tomato – Not only do the tomatoes add a layer of acidic sweetness, but they’re also just fun to scoop up with the clam shells. The guy I’d wanted to ask for my number tonight, the guy I’d thought was into me, just chose my roommate instead. I’ve just been clam jammed. Again. Maggie Finegan just caught her fiancé with another woman. Now she needs a new roommate, and a non-heterosexual man who is no temptation is just what she’s looking for. Good thing good-looking Ryland James tells her he’s gay. He’s the perfect roommate and becomes a trusted friend. OMFG!! I floooooved every single moment of this delightful, absurdly funny, sigh-worthy romance!!!! Ry is such a dreamy BBF! Dashingly handsome, sweet, chivalrous, in prime physical condition (drool-worthy washboard abs....need I say more?) and sooooooo gentlemanly! Gah! Every time he tenderly presses a tender kiss to Mags' forehead, pulls her in for an affectionate cuddle or gazes adoringly down at her I melted!!EB: What you’ve said there represents the whole show — that’s exactly what we wanted. Making sure that we were flippant to some extent, because otherwise people get bogged down with being too serious and then this gets criticised. We wanted it to be fun but serious in equal measure. Spice it Up –Add your allspice, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Stir to combine and then add your tomatoes. Fact: I'm not giving up. Which means I'll just have to continue to run defense until I figure out a way to get Maggie to see the real me. The characters in this story were fantastically portrayed. And I’m not talking only about the main ones, because let me tell you, the supporting characters were as awesome as the protagonists. Therefore, I wouldn’t mind to read their own stories/story. As the loads increase, and unless you have a winch for each line, you’ll need a rope clutch or jammer ahead of the winch to hold the load of one line while

I can just about get to the clam linkage ball joints on the end of the ‘boomerang’ from inside the cabin. Should I force these off to release the clam so I can then just lift it up to access the space underneath? I wish I could give this more than 5 stars. It made me ugly cry so much. I ugly cried at sad parts and I ugly cried at happy parts. It left me feeling that strange mix of happy and sad that you get from a really good book that steals your heart - or from watching Bridget Jones' Diary (which this book has shades of). Tina thought she had this guy at a party, but her friend completely clam jammed her by mentioning she was pregnant in front of him. Scotch Bonnet Pepper – These colorful peppers have a spice level similar habaneros but are fruitier and a little sweeter. The more citrusy habanero can be substituted if you don’t have access to fresh scotch bonnet peppers.I heard she stopped going because Xday is such a taco fest. All the guys that are there are getting old.

I absolutely freaking adored every single supporting character. I felt like I knew each and every one of them personally, and I connected with them in such a way that made them all seem so real to me. I met Ellie Barrett, one of the curator/directors at The Royal Standard, as well as Claudia Dance-Wells and Chloe McClellan, two of the artist whose work features in Clam Jam, to find out more about the process of putting together an all-female art show… It shouldn't have spanned a year (3-6 months would have been better) so Maggie's oblivion wouldn't be so ridiculous

The day I interviewed for the room to rent, everything changed. I knew I had met the girl, except there was one small problem: she didn't want anything to do with men. I recognized a top-notch force field when I saw one. She'd been burned badly and didn't want to deal with a heterosexual guy as a roommate. I could've turned around and found another place to live, but I wanted to live there with her. Perhaps it’s not a problem that it’s a girly show. People are cautious about using the word ‘girly’, because there does exist this fear of putting women’s art in a special vacuum, which is why a show like this can be controversial.
