Bringin' Home the Oysters

This past weekend, Chris brought home fresh oysters. Finally! I had been waiting for this since Chris left for the aquaculture program in April. Not only does my man come home, but he brings oysters with him; it doesn't get much better than that, let me tell ya.

Arsters!

YUM!

On Friday, we had a bunch of them raw  (on the half shell). Saturday and Sunday, Chris grilled them. We went to an oyster festival in April, which is where we both first tasted the wonderful thing that is a grilled oyster. So, today we decided to try it on our own. And goodness gracious, it was the best thing ever.

We enjoyed them with a pint of one of our favorite beers: Legend Brown.

Ah, bella!
That beer photo is mainly for my father, who makes fun of me for liking such malty beers! :)

But, now, alas, I have neither oysters nor fiance in the house. And that is sad.
