Let me just state it real simple and plain: I am STEWING over the fact that I haven't had raw oysters in a while. This is the already the second month with an "r" in it.
(The traditional time for oysters in New Orleans is the month with "r" in them. Those are the cooler months. The hot months May, June, July and August have no 'r.' Of course, September is a hot month too, but you can only go so long before cravings beat out the "rules.")
