oysters on the halfshell
Our local farmers’ market, the Hollywood Farmers’ Market, has oysters. *drool* They started selling there while I was pregnant and I would walk by and sigh a little. (I happily ate sushi while I was pregnant, but got sick once from raw oysters, so I thought it best to wait.) Last Sunday, I bought a dozen Luna for $10 and sampled one right at the stall – delish!
I had picked up some from Whole Foods the week before, but the farmers’ market ones were so much better. I was practically purring with each one. :-) I know they’re an acquired taste for most, but I love, love, love oysters. I either eat them unadulterated or with a little concoction of rice vinegar and finely minced shallots. The spouse made me a martini and I was just in heaven! I have decided that Sundays evenings shall be now known as Martini & Oyster night!
