Oysters

I had never shucked oysters until recently, but let me tell you, I now understand why they are so expensive when you buy them at a restaurant. Those little guys put up quite a fight! The labor required to put just a few ounces of food into your mouth is daunting.

40 minutes of back-breaking prying, gouging, and slicing, Blair and I finally finished shucking the last of over 20 oysters. Maggie took over after the shucking and prepared a glorious meal for us all!
