MOTHER RACHEL II (THE ESCARGOT STORY)

Sea Level, N.C., July 27, 1998

....I had a steward who claimed he was a gourmet cook...so, he's gonna fix escargots for appetizers for dinner on Sunday... Mother Rachel, that's what we called the steward, he was gay, but....well, he's dead now...anyway, Mother Rachel goes down and buys these live escargots, brings them back and puts them in a big dish pan or something, puts them on the counter in the galley, next to the refrigerator, puts a towel over them, and they're all alive...and this cook we had from Boston was a Cape Verdean Portuguese, I guess had never seen escargots.... he comes back, thinks they're some kind of shellfish, so he puts them in the refrigerator...those damn escargots all come out in the refrigerator, looking for a place to get warm, see ....they all come out of their shells, they're all over the refrigerator .... well, the second cook comes back all hung over in the morning, he's also a Cape Verdean Portuguese and he opens up that refrigerator, lets out a scream, he's running down the catwalk, we never saw him again ...it took three days to scrape all the escargots out of the refrigerator...
