Months With "Rs"

December is right in the middle of the prime oyster season. Every once in a while a group of friends gets a bushel of fresh oysters from Pamlico Sound. Then, it's just a matter of steaming the oysters in a large pot, spreading the kitchen table with newspapers, and setting out Saltine crackers, cocktail sauce, butter, and beer.

 No need to even sit down. Just stand around, pry open the oysters, share stories & jokes...and enjoy this delicious bounty from Pamlico Sound!
