I did not intend to buy oysters yesterday but when I got to the shellfish guy's place to buy dry scallops Chuck was running out the door to a cooler yelling "Steve, you gotta see the size of these gd oysters!" So I get my sea scallops plus a handful of big oysters from the Lynnhaven River.
A little butter mixed with garlic, japanese bread crumbs, chopped up prosciutto, chopped up basil and grated parmesan, and all that goes on the oysters on the half-shall then put under the broiler. Maybe it wasn't really oysters Rockefeller, but it was pretty good.

ReplyDeleteOh dang.
ReplyDeleteI have an Oysters Rockefeller story for you some day. Involves Savannah, a damsel in distress, and a big burly drunk guy with a full beard who held 20,000 volts sparking between his two paws who I found myself disconcertingly but irrevocably nose to nose with in a fight, which mercifully someone broke up before someone (me) got hurt.
Yeah, Savannah was like that. Good times, good times.
Barry, that doesn't sound like a story, it sounds like an outline for a book/play/film. Can't wait to hear it. Saw the photos of your latest cruise. Will post a link soon.
