I really don't know why it took me so long to tag this. I have looked at it many times over a period of years and very glad that I finally tried it. After talking to BK I used smoked oysters as fresh (or even "fresh" in a jar) isn't available here. The recipe is simple and easy to follow. I made as directed and then did add some Buffalo sauce to my serving and DH was happy with it as was. It's a twofer that was a winner with both of us. Thank you much my friend, we love your recipe. :D

I am a very lucky lady. I recently moved to a very small town in New Brunswick, Canada with my wonderful husband who is my best friend.
Very fortunate to have a cherished son, wonderful daughter in law and adorable granddaughter and cute wee grandson. We are very blessed.
A big thank you to everyone that has made my recipes... hope you enjoyed them.
