Be Oyster Aware

I was watching the NCIS marathon last weekend and one of the characters called in sick, well she was kidnapped and made to call in sick, but anyway she made up a story about food poisoning and said she should have listened to the saying only eat raw oysters in months with the letter “R” in them. I’ve never heard that before. Maybe it’s because I don’t generally eat raw food unless it’s a fruit or vegetable. If you eat raw food, probably it’s a good idea to check sites like BeOysterAware.com. You can find all the information you need on oysters and some recipes. I’m posting a picture of what a gulf oyster looks like. My Aunt and Uncle brought me a bag of these shells once when I was heavily into the craft show scene. I was able to drill a hole in one end of the shell, I don’t know which end is considered the top, and I made Christmas ornaments out of them. Can’t you see a Santa face when you look at an gulf oysters shell?
So the husband and I have started watching NCIS but don’t know what’s going on with the characters. This kidnapped, oyster hating, Kate was killed somehow and we don’t know why or how. Just what I need another television show to get into.

LOST, Give Me Answers

I can’t post my LOST review until I watch it again, what the hell is going on? We get an answer in each episode and 67 more questions. I want more answers. I’ve been asked if I could find something in an oyster besides a pearl, what would that be? Answers to questions on LOST, that’s what I want. Like a fortune cookie. Why is Jin dead? Why is Michael on the freighter 18 miles off shore?

I’ve never had Gulf oysters before, but I would eat as many as I could for answers. I would prefer them cooked though. I just can’t do the raw thing. While they provide a low calorie protein that are a great source of zinc, vitamin B-12, and omega-3 fatty acids you have to be careful eating raw stuff. Did you know that if you have liver disease, diabetes or a weak immune system, you should avoid raw oysters. I found this out at a site called BeOysterAware.com when searching for information on diabetes. The husband has been recently diagnosed with diabetes. There is a lot of information on oysters and recipes. They have answers for you there! Which is more than I can say for LOST.
