Speaking of kitchen wounds, I still have a scar on the outside of my right thumb to remind me of the time I absentmindedly drove an oyster knife into my hand. At the time, I was working at a seafood restaurant/market, where protecting the oyster-holding hand wasn’t cool. Serves me right.

Oysters are still on the scary list for me. My mom loves them so I am hoping some day I’ll get over it…lol.
I just love this picture. Everything about it is right – the light the colors, the thought of fresh shucked oysters.
Perfect!
