Classic escargot

I served escargot for Thakgsgiving. Wegmans Classic Escargot in the shell with garlic-butter-parsley sauce.

They were good, but a tad too buttery and they slid backwards into the shell and had to be cracked open. My daughter ate about eight. My husband's grandmother ate three and then realized they were snails and refused to eat any more.

Wegmans, before Thanksgiving

The items I had on my list did not require a trip to Wegmans.  Though my desire for sushi and curiosity about the new "Classic Escargot" appetizer... I had to...

I spent $62.61, but $15 of that was silver polish, $5 dryer sheets, $5 seafood forks and $22 between escargot and sushi.
