Clam Jam

Product Information

J.E. Lighter, Random House Historical Dictionary of American Slang (1994) cites the 1952 instance reported in Wentworth & Flexner as its first recorded occurrence of the usage, but then adds a slightly later occurrence, from 1955, and still later ones from 1964 and 1991: We jokingly said she'd have to play a guy because our party was becoming a real clam-fest (we're up to 6 girls 1 guy). Brown Sugar – Balances the bitter components while both mellowing the heat of the scotch bonnet and enhancing its fruitiness. Whether you’re looking for a fun dish to serve while watching the game, or an easy and elegant Friday night addition to your happy hour, these grilled clams are sure to become a favorite. When I started this book it was a strong contender to get 5 stars and a spot on my "favourites" shelf:

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 ga I heard she stopped going because Xday is such a taco fest. All the guys that are there are getting old. 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. There is obviously is a space for all-female shows; the problem perhaps is that we shouldn’t require a space. You shouldn’t need to do an all-female exhibition, but you do, and so perhaps you should. It’s like the statement: ‘I need feminism because I shouldn’t’. It’s a good thing he’s gay. Otherwise, lets be real. I’d likely end up being that flatmate who accidentally on purpose ‘sleepwalks’ into his bed.

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.

p.505 - Over a year has passed. It was just shameful. Pathetic even. Claim the girl already! I was prepared for three to six-ish months of the act. They live together. It just left me irritated, and I think the light-heartened banter wasn't coming put. They've reached second base and he's still playing gay? Right. I really enjoyed this one. BUT I really wish that Maggie would’ve figured out sooner on her own that Ry was really not into men and only had eyes for her. I’m not really sure how she couldn’t? All the signs were there!! There's only so many times that Ry can take home the guy she's after. If I was her best friend, I would’ve pointed it out a long time ago. Okay, rant over.Something I have personally found slightly problematic is the branding of Clam Jam: the name, the imagery, the vagina-themed canapés etc. But I can also see how it acts like a caricature. It’s playful. That's my life except it's worse. My friend who keeps jamming me is my gay roommate, and if that isn't a W.T.F. moment, I'm not sure what is. At some other random point in the novel - He is upset when she calls them "friends". What is she supposed to think? If that wasn't a clue to admit you're straight, I don't know what is. I think he was waiting for a miracle.

That’s interesting. This is why most institutions would host an all-female show — to make a feminist statement. It seems hard to separate the two.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 Nevertheless, I think that 1930–1952 is very likely the approximate origin period for both clambake and clam in the relevant senses. And any better explanation of the origin of clam as "mistake" should devote at least a little time to explaining why the jazz terms clam and clambake are not related. 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!! 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. If my tongue had a voice of it's own, it would probably say something like, "Just the tip. That’s all I want.” The tip of my tongue tracing over Ry’s abs, that is. You know, just to prove someone Photoshopped him. Or not.
