This has been a hard month. When the weather is this unseasonably cold, I take solace in the knowledge that the oysters will be so delicious. Alas, not this year. No oyster dressing for Thanksgiving, and when I lunched at Iris (fabulous!!!), they had Maine and Seattle oysters--no substitute in my book.Give me Bluepoints from Bayou La Loutre! There is a ray of hope, a new oyster cultivation method from down under. Come on, people, we need our oyster folk to adopt this system--they will make a lot more money and we will have our beloved oysters!
