Actually Ron, the cockles of my heart is an old expression that you may remember. I believe it is derived from the latin for one's heart chambers which , I believe, resemble the shellfish Necro mentioned.

Funny you should metion that. Last Thursday, the Princess insisted on cooking dinner. She made beef stroganoff. It was very good! I guess we do need to let them have their way occassionally! It sure is interesting how you and I are so similar in this area. We both do the cooking! The wives stay out of the kitchen. HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
