One of my favorite oyster dishes in the last couple of years was a fried Merliton with fried oysters and oyster tasso hollandaise from Jacques-Imo's in New Orleans. Other than that, I'm all for on the half shell with champagne.

Saute leeks, add potatoes (already cooked), lemon juice, butter, cream, lots of hot sauce. And then more hot sauce. Take the boat motor to it. But the best part is the fresh oysters that my brother in law gets from Tomales Bay. And we add those in with the liquor. Sometimes we add some cognac or sherry prior to dairy, sometimes not. He likes to top it with creme fraiche....

How much is a "dollop" of lemon juice? Big Grin

Why, a dollop is just a hair more than a smidgen!

I go back monthly for work so I know what you mean about the mayor. Same issues need to be resolved. I do love the city but am glad I don't live there anymore. It is sad though that so many folks are still struggling so hard. I think people are going to forget soon.

Good luck in LR.

Well, we a 10 year old son with autism, so the services and school system is better here. He receives home therapy here and we have seen some progress since we have been here. My husband and I both were born and raises in New Orleans. He misses home so, I really don't. So many problems at home, and the Mayor... Well, it is slow in Little Rock, but I lived in the suburbs back home so I am used to that. Just miss my home, we built in Dec. 1999. It had all I needed. Now, we are in an apt. that is old and let's say not the best of neighbors. So, that's my plight. Sorry about your in-laws. It's hard to change when you are older. My husband is 19 years my senior, so he is having a hard time. Thanks for asking
