Yea Tsubaki, it looked somehow familiar ;D

That looked like a shindig I am sorry I missed, where you at? I might have to come down and establish another stash in your neck of the woods ;)

[msbhammer]

Damm, another party that Hammer wasnt invited too. >:( :'( 8)

[lumberslinger178]

them oysters made me hungry ;D ;D ;D

[macojoe]

We get tons of oysters here,(a friend has a oyster, cohog farm ;D ) I have never tryed to steam them that way, will have to give it a try!

[Mac_Attack]

Looks like you had a very GOOD Friday. What's in the Brunwick stew? Billy MAC

[macojoe]

So I guess I know were the next V20 get toghter is going to be! ;D ;)

[tsubaki]

Not meaning to ignore the attempted self invites, but ya'll don't really don't want to go somewhere you will bust a gut eating and fall in the fire drinking and then have to wake up to the smell of a breakfast casserole and coffee just to have to shuck the remaining oysters to have to make an oyster stew to eat them for lunch as to not to waste them.

Billy Mac this stew was a whole butt (cooked), 2cans of cream corn, 2 cans of baby butterbeans, 4 cans of whatever stewed tomatoes you like and a bottle of your local favorite BBQ sauce and simmered all day.

The traditional stew has a mix of vegetables and meats (usually including chicken, squirrel, pork, etc.)
The childrens story "Stone Soup" is very close to the way to prepare it.

[Mac_Attack]

Thanks, sounds good, looks good. billy Mac ;D

[willy]

Tsubak I saw your admonishment but got to tell you that sounds like a very recent shindig I had in Lake Solitude La. about 45 minutes north of Baton Rouge.
Saw as long as you got space on the ground for a mat and sleeping bag I am good to go ;D

[randlemanboater]

Man that looks good.....all of it.

We usually shuck out any leftovers and make oyster omlets for breakfast.

[tsubaki]

Sorryness got the best of me the next morning about shucking the leftovers, almost ashamed to post this but it was a lot easier.

Stop by and pick me up too ;D

Yep, I think the next get together needs to be at Tsub's house for sure.

[macojoe]

Thats a good Idea!! I have a air hammer also!! ;)

[Sean]

WOW, sounds like you guys know how to party ;D

[Pipe_Dream]

I'm not a big fan of oysters (yeah, I know ::) ), but I love a good ol' oyster roast. You're outside, it's (often) chilly, you've got a good fire going, smell of woodsmoke, cooler of beer, maybe a bottle of bourbon for later, some good 'que to eat . . .

Man, life sure is good. ;D

[willy]

someone say bourbon too ;)

[tsubaki]

We had to cancel the 2008 Friday after Thanksgiving thing due to the Mrs.'s having several surgeries at the same time.
And this year we were too sorry to go all out.
Just ended up steaming some stuff (Low Country Boil).
A couple of pictures from last night.

The cooker to do it all.

And the size of the oysters were about the biggest we have ever seen.
