you all read about my recent sustainability dinner and hopefully checked out the local catch and restaurant charts. so when it came time last friday for my friends and i to choose an after-work spot – we consulted the sources. 

of course, you can’t go wrong with platinum, so we trekked over to the boathouse to be the greenest of green we could be.  

feeling saucy, i decided to partake in some oysters on the half shell. a lot of the time, people ask, “have you eaten blah blah” and i say, “oh probably, i’ll try everything.” so i had assumed that i’d had oysters before (steamed, maybe?) and i’ve certainly had clams, mussels, snails, all the other non-fish seafood, so i got a half dozen oysters and some gin and sat down with my pals.

as soon as those little oysters arrived, i didn’t look too closely and popped one in my mouth. and immediately i thought – WHAT IS THIS HEAVENLY BIVALVE AND WHY HAVE I NOT EATEN A DOZEN A DAY?! ooh they were good. so i ate four more and traded one of my friends for his steamed one (in comparison, i must say steamed was gross and blegh).
