Boy I do love oysters, all kinds, and in all ways. I always have a very hard time when it comes to actually "cooking" oysters, because my true love is always raw oysters on the half-shell. So I took this in stride, and managed along with the recipe perfectly. I followed this exactly, using fresh parm shaved on top. I had cooked the bacon earlier so I just broke up in small pieces. Boy, this was wonderful, I used the full amount cayenne and thought I could add more, but for my DH this was perfect. I made my own bread crumbs and this is so good, make sure you reserve the liquid. I baked for 25 minutes because it's a hot day and it was perfect.I served on some fresh toast points and everything is perfect on Longmeadow Farm. Thank you! Made for *Flower Power* June 2009.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
