botticelli

aphrodite was born on cyprus and sailed to shore on a scallop shell, according to myth, and according to botticelli. if someone else is right, and botticelli is wrong, i don’t care. i’m stickimg with botticelli. also, before aprhodite steps into her shallow boat, i’d like to request that i get the little knob of white scallop flesh attached to the hull, in order to grill it, or sear it, with some good salted butter.
