Life begins at 40

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.

fatchance:

Together we shucked two pints of select Clay Bank oysters. Tomorrow I’ll feast on fried oysters for lunch, and a bowl of oyster stew for dinner to keep me warm during our next big snow.
FatChance Oyster Stew
Saute two tablespoons of finely grated shallot or onion in 1 tablespoon butter, until onion is soft and fragrant. Add 2 cups of cream or half-and-half and 1 cup of shucked oysters and their liquor. Raise heat but do not bring to a boil, and cook for about five minutes. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately. Oyster crackers are a traditional accompaniment, but plain old saltine crackers work just as well.
