And pardon my bite marks but I may have invented a new toast. Toasted sourdough, thin layer of pesto with leftover ingredients, toasted walnuts and fresh grated Parmesan. OMG it’s so good.

The hole in the shell is from a carnivorous snail that has a special tongue called a radula. The radula is covered in tiny teeth and it drills through the shell to get its meal. It’s probably more like teeth of a saw blade but I picture it differently.
