Oysters chopped up, breaded, and baked with mushrooms and cheese or herb seasoning are great. I wouldn't eat raw oysters unless I were literally starving.

It's nice, but part of me is like why put me through it in the first place?
Right? I have my suspicions, and they don't reflect well on the higher-ups is all I'll say.
Oysters Rockefeller are delicious, but I've had less luck with raw oysters for some reason. Although when I had them crazy fresh, just harvested off the Pacific coast in the San Juan Islands? Delicious.

Congrats, Maria! Hope you have a relaxing and wonderful weekend.
I'm exhausted. As per usual. Again.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Found out a couple friends are in Puerto Vallarta (with a bunch of their friends) right now.
A high school friend of mine is there too. Hoping he is okay.
Completely unrelatedly, now I want oysters.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The hurricane situation is terrifying.
msbelle, are you flooding? The news looked bad.
I wish I had oysters.
I didn't know off the top of my head, and the paperwork is all at home, but I was able to find the answer in one of the old Natter threads. Yay old Natter threads.
Love that.
I fear there's been some upheaval that is not in my favor.
That all...does not sound great.

Congratulations, Maria! That is AWESOME news!
As for weekend plans, I am doing absolutely jack shit, and that is exactly the kind of weekend I need.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
we are under flash flood alerts. I am not in low ground so not worried.
Raining for 2 days though, so yeah some areas are bad. Over where my parents live has a lot of low-road areas and a friend's husband hydroplaned off the road just after midnight.

Talk about mixed messages, Maria. I'm glad this ridiculousness ended on the positive.
Buy a boat, msbelle.
Everything in my body aches. Even my thumbs. Hormones are stupid.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Please stay safe, hurricane path and hurricane adjacent friends.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
My weekend plans are scanning photos, editing photos, and possibly even taking photos.
