Post BP Oysters R Smaller

Daughter gave me the heads up before I headed down to NOLA – post BP spill – as the bed are being reopened - “oysters just aren't the same” - “they're different” - shrugged it off – proclaiming – intensifying – my determination to find out for myself -

Looking for “last night in NOLA supper” - we opted out of “the big – fancy – formal meal” - headed to Acme -

The line was intense – but we had the magic card – seated at a long table – sharing with some conference attendees – Natasha took our order -

• Oyster Shooters – I bought for ourselves – and – those we were sharing the table with -
• Dozen Char Broiled (Oysters) -
• Two Dozen Raw (Oysters) -
• Mint Julep -
• Vodka rocks -
• Diet Coke

We waited -

• Char Broiled came first – small - covered with grated cheese and sauce – small amount of meat – wrote it off to shrinkage from cooking – tasty – though a bit too much salt -
• Raw came about 5 minutes later – small – embarrassingly small – I flashed on Kumimotos from the west coast – where were the big – ice cold – luscious Louisiana Oysters I had come so far for – i.e. - they were not to be – these were maybe a quarter of the size I had feverishly consumed only 4 months earlier – were these even from Louisiana –

Drinks came -

• Vodka OK
• Mint Julep was weak – weaker – weakest – drinker asked waitress to correct – she brought another “shot” of bourbon – much better but no comparison to Bourbon House masterpiece just an hour before – and – when the chit was rendered – charged for the correction (extra shot) – life was too short that night to call them on it -
• Oyster Shooters – in a mini shot “plastic” - again very small oyster – the presentation – none on the “fun” previously experienced when downing Acme's shooters – more a dirty shot of vodka with something in the bottom -

During the height of the spill – as oyster farmers and shuckers – shut down – a survey of New Orleans restaurants revealed who had - who was without oysters – Acme proudly proclaimed that they were never without - “a secret source” - could that have been Florida – or – points beyond – may never know – they are not about to reveal - i.e. oysters were different -

Did two dozen more – hoping it would get better – did not happen – did have great Gumbo – Beans & Rice – touch of Sausage – deep fried Soft Shell Crab – Fried Oysters (still small – though not a bright a flag) -

First time sitting at an Acme table – fun was had by all -

Next time - back to the counter – Shucker putting Oysters in front of you as-soon-as the shell is popped – that's the way to go – particularly in this time of change – which this writer – lover of Oysters - can only hope is transitional – until the Crassostrea Virginica - (Louisiana Oyster) returns to their former glory -

Hi there! Quick question that's entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My blog looks weird when browsing from my apple iphone. I'm trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to correct this issue. If you have any recommendations, please share. Thank you!

It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

I think it's better to teach her how to make a living.

When you are arguing against Him you are arguing against the very power that makes you able to argue at all. Do you agree?

[maplestory mesos]

yeah but I think how to live is better than how to make a living.

DO DO DO DO....YA I TRY TO BELIEVE YOU....TODAY TODAY TODAY....

There are two types of education. One should teach us how to make a living, And the other how to live. Do you think so?
