I had been adding recipes for a while to a new cookbook so I could find them when I wanted to cook them. In the electronic age, a digital version seems to make more sense, since I can add, amend, advise, adjust, delete, and reconsider as often as I want to and you can access them if and when you please. I've included the recipes from both my original cookbook which many of you have, and additional accumulated recipes that never got published. This isn’t the latest thing or nouvelle cuisine. These recipes are comfort food, good memories, treasured family recipes, and occasional treats as well as many healthier recipes I've grown to like in recent years. I encourage you to add comments, pictures, and favorite recipes to make this a real family cooking spot. It's the next best thing to sharing a meal.

Roasted Oysters

Oysters in shells (do not shuck)

Use a charcoal grill or build a wood fire and let it burn down to coals.  Put a large grate above the coals.  Lay oysters on the grate and cover with wet burlap bags.  Steam for 5 minutes or so until the shells just barely pop open.  Eat at once.

Roasted oysters are wonderful on a cool evening.  Stephen loved oysters raw, but better yet he liked them roasted like this.  You can also cook them in the microwave just until they pop open, but it can get messy.
