What's for Dinner, Fri., Jan. 5, 2024

1. Oysters from the Outer Banks

We got back to NYC and brought a couple of dozen fresh oysters with us. Tonight we're splitting a dozen, raw on the half-shell, in the traditional manner with cocktail sauce, lemon, a drop of vinegar, horseradish and and Red Stripe beer. They'll be served with a large salad with iceberg lettuce, cherry tomatoes, red onion, carrot strips, celery slices and some green pepper rings. French dressing. Homemade potato French fries.

When I skimmed your OP, NJCher, I read this: "...my main cookbook for this, Wrap It Up by Ann Colter..."

Quite a laugh. I wouldn't let that woman anywhere near my house let alone my kitchen!
