Okay, how about a mayo, taco sauce, horse radish and cayenne pepper dip?

Ewwww.....that's all I've got to say..........

Well, if you like Bloomin' Onion sauce you'll like this.

Fries oysters are one of my guilty pleasures....so so good.

I've also had them broiled with spinach/butter.....Rockfeller.....but I've never tried them raw....not sure I would like them raw, hmmm, I guess there is the one thing...

I can't get past the way raw oysters feel in my mouth. They feel like I should be spitting that out. Now Oysters Rockefeller, broiled oysters, smoked oysters, fried oysters, oyster bisque, I'm all good with that.
There's an oyster festival here in the late fall. You buy tickets and a ticket will get you an oyster any way you want it. With 50 or 60 different recipes, if you leave hungry, you're doing something wrong.

St Mary's University in San Antonio has an Oyster Fest right around the same time as Fiesta....and they also have them any way you want them. I would love to go, but Mr. Mertex doesn't like oysters, so he doesn't see any real reason to go.....

Mr. Mertex? This post is for you sir. Mertex would like to attend Oyster Fest and that my new friend, is reason enough.

Mr Mertex won't read your message because he doesn't participate in Forum membership......he just barely tolerates FB. I appreciate your assistance, but believe me, I've tried every trick available to women, and he won't budge. He did try eating an oyster once, just to pacify my insisting that he probably would like them if he at least tried them, and that just makes his adamance easier for him....

Thanks.....

I do like Bloomin Onion sauce.....on Chili's onion blossoms......

I don't drink any of that stuff, but I'm happy to eat it in ice cream form.

Ummmm, that sounds pretty good.....and 4 g of fiber, you can't beat that........but it's low fat....is it any good? I've tried some of the low fat ice-cream in other brands and they usually don't taste that good.

I REFUSE to eat low fat unless it actually is enjoyable to eat. I'd rather exercise a little more and enjoy my indulgences to the fullest.

I don't like much of the low-fat that's out there, but I'm always willing to try. I use the low-fat half and half for my coffee and I really can't tell the difference. I've gotten used to 1% milk, although whole milk tastes sooooo good. I've also been drinking diet coke for so long, the real coke makes me gag. But, in ice cream I've yet to find one that I can really say it tastes just as good or better than the real thing.

I so agree on the ice cream preference. Sometimes I will go with sherbert, just to avoid the fat from ice cream. It does have almost too much sugar in it, for me, but I do like it. Pineapple sherbert or rainbow.

You really want to avoid Haagen Dazs ice cream then, because that stuff is loaded with fat. But then that's why it tastes so good...

I agree on the sherbert, (alt. sp. sherbet).

Exactly.

I haven't bought ice cream or sherbert in a year, or two, probably, but when I gave ice cream up I switched to sherbert first. I won't keep either one but about 4 times a year I indulge a guilty pleasure from a great ice cream store. Double scoop in a waffle cone. I drive a few yards to a pull-off on the narrow twisting highway, and devour that rich ice cream while watching the gulls flying around as the ocean pounds the volcanic beach area. Heaven on earth...

Morning Everybody!

It is really nice here. A Cool 69 and sunny again.
We are very thankful for all the rain but it's good to see the sun again.

I'm telling you peach, your finds are consistently among the best of the best, pictures I see here. Thank YOU for the grins!

Well, everything is back to normal... Vacation is over. Will be getting the RV winterized on Thursday afternoon. Then will take it to the truck wash for a good washing. You wouldn't believe how many bugs got on it during our trip. Then it will be covered for the winter after it is parked somewhere out of the way in the yard. It being Tuesday, Mrs. BBD is down at the church quilting with all the ladies and will be there until 5:00 pm. Taco is outside laying in the sun. House cats are all splayed out like they are in a coma. It's nice and quiet here. I wish it would hurry up and be lunch time so I can eat some lunch and then take a nap in the recliner. That's my plan for today.

Are you enjoying the RV experience, BBD? Do you consider the gain, worth the effort or is it too soon to tell?

Hugs, to Taco. I missed seeing his name here.

I ate a raw oyster once........ Like swallowing a humongous wad of snot, almost blew my groceries........

Our Oyster Fest has beer. Maybe that would entice him?

Exactly what I feel and alluded to earlier. Oddly, I LOVE raw clams. They are firmer and less slippery.

Thank you very much AquaAthena for a really nice compliment.
I think that starting anyone's day out with a smile, grin or laugh always makes the rest of the day happier, no matter what the ups or downs might be.

 

[peach174]

Good Morning and happy hump day everyone!!!!!!!

I laughed over this one for about 2 minutes non stop. It's a good thing I had not taken a sip of my coffee or it would have been all over the place.

Poppycock!!









Oh, we're supposed to be nice and cheerful today??!!









Why do I never get the memo.........

Hugs, to Taco. I missed seeing his name here.

I have a 23 foot toy hauler with a 5 foot rear pull-out. With the motorcycle on board, it tips the scales at 7,700 pounds. Now, I'm pulling it with a F-150 with a V-6 tricked out with a computer upgrade, but hills can be a problem.
Actual driving, while more stressful, isn't too bad. At times, I even forget it's back there. Parking at eateries along the way can be problematic, especially when some idiot blocks you in.
Then there are the RV parks that have tiny sites where you have to jack knife the rig to get it parked, but if you practice or are experienced with trailers, you'd be surprised where you can put your rolling hotel.

 

[Ernie S.]

70 with a big bright sun and a few fluffy clouds and a nice breeze at 10:48 CDT here in Foley. I slept like a log last night for the first time in like forever. The only problem I see right now is an empty coffee mug. Hmmm I see momma has gotten out the Halloween mugs. Nice. Well, now for that 40 foot walk to the coffee pot for some fresh ground Costa Rican Terrazu.

Food is supposed to be cooked..... unless it's fruit and certain vegetables, then it's optional........ The only way I like oysters or clams is in Oysters Rockefeller and Clams Casino.

 

[Ernie S.]

Clams is good stuff. I used to dig my own. I could get a half bushel in about an hour. I would be out in chest deep water in Long Island Sound about twice a week from March to late December. I had a wet suit for really cold water.
The law was that clams (cherry stones) that fit through a 1 1/2" ring had to be released, but I carried a clam knife on my hip and released many of the small ones right down my throat.

Have you tried Oysters Bienville? It is a South Louisiana thing, but often available in most of the Gulf South. Better than Rockefeller.

Oysters Bienville Recipe Emeril Lagasse Food Network

A great table appetizer is a dozen mixed oysters (Rockefeller, Bienville and Casino). At Arnaud's, Oysters Katheryn and Oysters Arnaud are good, too.
