These are Clams Casino!! It is calms with a bread crumb mix with bacon, green bell peppers, and red bell peppers. The hardest part of this dish was getting the darn clams open! First, if they're already open and you tap them and they don't close, then they're bad. So the ones that we're good, I had to try to pry them open with a clam knife. This task proved to be near impossible, these clams just didn't want to die! I got most of them open but then I gave up and put them in boiling water so they would open themselves up. (Also, if the clams do not open in boiling water or a steamer, they're also bad.) After the clams were opened, I filled them with the bread crumbs and baked them until crisp. Clams are a little too rubbery for my taste, but the mix of the clams with the bread crumbs made for a pretty good dish. If you love clams, you'll love this!
In sadder news, I also had to kill a lobster. It was the worst thing I've ever had to do. There are no pictures because I do not wish to remember this event. I did not boil it, but I shoved a knife into its skull to kill it (because it was supposed to be more humane). The creepiest part was that it was still moving several minutes after being killed. Just overall horrible.
