Oysters and Pumpkins
Two stories in one entry. You guys are so lucky.A couple of weekends ago, Jeff invited me to go oyster shucking with him and his friends. I've never been, so I agreed to go, if for nothing else than to try something new. I had my reservations. I've only ever had oysters a few times (cooked) and to be frank, I think they're kinda nasty. And the thought of slurping down a slimy still-living mollusk wasn't really appealing either. I mean c'mon, does this look appetizing?
Ewwwwwww. But you know what? It wasn't that bad. I poured lots of Tabasco sauce on mine, topped it with some pico de gallo, squeezed a little lime juice on it, and sluuuuuuurped it down. Pretty tasty. Jeff enjoyed his oysters, too.
On another note, Happy Halloween folks! Over the weekend, my friend Amy threw a pumkin carving party. Nice pumkins, Amy!
I haven't carved a pumkin since I was like 8, before the invention of all of those fancy carving kits with mini saws and super-sharp knives. I had to do it ghetto-style with a dull steak knife for carving and an old metal spoon for scraping out the pumpkin innards. However, Amy was well-prepared with state-of-the-art tools and artsy stencils, which makes for some really fancy jack-o-lanterns:
And the piece de resistance: my Spongebob Squarepants!
He was a bitch to carve, but well worth the wait.
There are photos of me in costume floating around somewhere. Once I get a hold of them, I'll post them here, too.
