My grandfather use to make the best oyster stew! Thanks for sparking a wonderful memory!
I have a similar story about my wedding ring~ my diamond fell out but I did have it… it sat in a ziploc bag for year or two… then one year my DH asked me to renew our wedding vows at church on mother’s day!! Talk about shocked!! Of course, I agreed… when it came to time to do the rings, he put my diamond ring on my finger, he had gotten it fixed for me!
He can be such a sweetheart… but hides behind a “manly” veneer most of the time!
{{Gina}} Thank you for sharing that story.
We had the oyster stew tonight…. it was just scrumptious! Warming and really hit the spot. The Cajun seasoning was just the lightest bit hot and it lent itself very well to the stew.
It was my own Grandfather who introduced me to oyster stew. His recipe was just oysters, butter, pepper and milk heated very hot and little oyster crackers floated on top.
Love
Sylvia
