What better way to welcome the weekend than with an embarrassing personal story?



Thought I'd "come out of my shell" a little bit there, to promote Be Oyster Aware, a site that helps consumers learn more about Gulf oysters and serves as a gentle reminder that individuals with weakened immunity should avoid eating raw shellfish.

You can also find lots of oyster recipes there, which I probably won't be trying out any time soon. The only time I ever eat oysters is at Hooters, and they're really not very good. The downside of living in land-locked Colorado, I suppose!
