Darn it!  The Island Creek Oyster Festival is this Saturday and I'm going to miss it.  The 3rd Annual Island Creek Oyster Festival is taking place on Saturday 9/20 from 4pm - 11pm and will be held at Duxbury Beach Park. The festival is being sponsored by Harpoon Brewery, so you know the beer will be good.  Also, they'll have a few chefs from local restaurants:  KO Prime, Lineage, and Green St

A Lebanese couple, Raymond Salha and his wife, found 26 pearls in their oyster lunch.Believing it was valuable, they called their city's maritime museum and took the oysters with the pearls inside it.

I just finished re-reading an interesting book about oysters yesterday.  "Oysters?!"  Yes, oysters!  The Big Oyster by Mark Kurlansky (Random House Trade Paperback, 2007) is a fascinating look at the history of the oyster in New York.  "Why would I want to read a whole book about oysters?!"  Ah, therein lies the tale!  You see, this is a book about much more than oy

Well, To lighten the mood of this Monday, Lets start it off with a joke. A teenage boy oyster didn't know how to get noticed by a girl oyster in the nearby river.. Seeking assistance, he went to see his mother. "Mom" said the oyster, defeated, "How can I get her to notice me? I don't know where to start!" The mother looked over to him and laughed.. "Son, All you have to do is open up, and

I love oyster. When i was back home in Philippines i remember that me and my sister together with some of my friends go to our favorite buffet restaurant for a weekend night out. I like it there because they have lots of food to offer like fruits, meats, and seafoods, you name it. In that place too i remember to ate oyster for the first time. So after we tried that buffet for the first time we kept coming back at that place and eat a lot of food. Since im already here in US i started missing to go that place and eat everything i want especially the oyster. But my sister, she told me that they still go out with her some of her friends on weekends. Oh i miss that place for real. And oh! I remember that when my hubby came to see me last August 2006, we brought him there and ate at the buffet

 What if oysters offered valuable objects beyond pearls? If I had my way I would choose diamonds! Diamonds and pearls, what a great combination. Gulf oysters is a favorite dish of many people.

few weeks a go also i have added a cool post about oyster aware. If you went though that post you know how nutritious the oysters are. And also the fact that you can get lot of nutrients from oysters that you can not get from other food items.another important issue is that, some people get bit annoyed, when they are going to eat oysters. But i think now it is time to change the mind set. See how easy it is.But there is a very important issue when you want to eat oysters. Without question, there is an overwhelming need to inform "at-risk oyster consumers" about the potential hazard associated with eating raw oysters.Oyster aware web site, provide a great insight into oysters in general.

My introduction to oysters came when I lived in Boston in college, and had a roommate (let’s call her “Ellen”) who was one of the most unattractive specimens of humanity I have encountered in my years on earth.

Sometimes I am offered a chance to tell you about a certain product in a 'fun' way and this morning is one of those! Let's chat about Gulf oysters.The very first time I met my little brothers girlfriend we were all sitting in the kitchen talking about Christmas Eve dinner, in which we traditionally serve Oyster Stew. Suddenly she exclaimed, "I LOVE oysters!" and we all smiled. We knew she would fit in just fine! Sure enough, they are now married with a child and yes, we still serve oyster stew each Christmas Eve.I've been eating oysters all my life, and absolutely adore them in almost any way, shape or form, however, we do need to remember that oysters are a seafood and some safety measures must be taken when eating them if you have an impaired immune system. Luckily, sites like B

We went to Maui, Hawaii last year for our family vacation and to commemorate our greatest Poppie (my father-in-law) who died a year before. We relaxed, had a family bonding and swam in a blue beach. We had a good time.One day, we went to Hilo Hattie to buy some goodies...you know chocolates and some more Hawaiian products. I stopped at a stand where you can get pearls if you are lucky. You have to pay a certain amount of money in order to get a chance to open an oyster. They have this "ringing the bell" to give you luck type of stuff. A girl purchase a chance and she got two pearls. Oh boy, she got lucky.Speaking of Oyster, how do they eat? How do they make pearls? Do they make other things as well? According to WikiAnswers, "The oyster contributes to improved water quality through its fil

Like millions of other people I like to eat fried oysters. I have had them many different ways.

Most people who have spent any time in London in the past few years will be aware of Oyster cards, small plastic cards which can be loaded with money and used to pay for travel on the capital's public transport system.Yesterday's free London paper Metro carried a story about Visitor Oyster cards – much like regular Oysters but available at coach ticket offices throughout the UK, "which allows coach travellers to buy their Oyster card before they even arrive in the capital".The story continues:The Visitor Oyster card comes pre-loaded with pay as you go and is ready for passengers to use as soon as they arrive in central London.The pay as you go money on the card never runs out so people can use any money left over for future visits to London or pass it to friends and family visiting the c

A pearl seeker anchored her anchor. Sunshine bounces back from the anchor causing the surface of the blue sea become brilliant. Minutes later, a human body dived into the sea. About 50 second then, ama (title for pearl diver in Japan) resurfaced with oyster.Everyday, pearl divers everywhere in the world fight their life to get pearl at the sea bed. Ama s in Japan mostly are women. They are willing to dive 40 feet into the sea without bringing any weapon to protect their self, except an iron knife with hook eye to pry oyster.Oysters that can produce pearls can also be found in Persian Gulf, Gulf of Manaar (located between India and Sri Lanka), Red Sea, and Great Barrier Reef in the east coast of Australia. Most pearl divers especially in Sri Lanka are still using traditional method. However

Uncle Bubba's Oyster House104 Bryan Woods RoadSavannah, GA 31410www.unclebubbas.comWhere is it?A bit tricky to find. From the entrance, snake around the front enclave (which contains the giftshop) and twist through a long hallway into the main dining room. From there, look to the left, for a large grill station. Just past that, while facing the rear of the place, is a smaller hallway. The bathrooms are in there.What's it like?I begin with saying that this review is based on my second visit to this spinoff of the Paula Deen southern cooking empire.

Once stood the famous makan icon in Singapore…the Esplanade Satay Club – the breezily located Makansutra Gluttons Bay offers plenty of local food galore. And among them stood one of my favourite ‘Ou Luak’, or Fried Oyster Omelette Stall – Hup Kee (Orchard). This stall started off in the 70's at the famous Orchard Carpark night hawkers and now operates two outlets, the other being at the Newton Hawker Centre. What is so amazing about their dish as compared to others is that the eggs and the sweet potato flour are somehow done crispier, and less oily, which sources revealed is based on a 40-year-old recipe. I personally also found the eggs to be rather fluffy inside which gives it an excellent bite. You will also find a good number of fresh, succulent and plump Korean Oysters serve

Live in London? Use the tube and buses? Then you've got an Oyster card. There's an experiment at the moment to integrate them with phones and Nokia are trying it out with a pilot.Here's the rashbre central unofficial pilot for iPhone users, but it works fine for other phone makes too. The iPhone is great. It looks fabulous but in regular use its a bit slippy. So I bought a 'tight fittlng rubberised case' from incase.. Oooh, I hear you cry. So as an experiment, I've added extra functionality to the phone by inserting my Oyster card into the case before putting it around the phone. Then simply wave the phone by the Oyster touch-points.Works brilliantly and makes me smile.rashbre iPhone oyster london londonist apple hack Tfl tube buses

This is one of a few dishes we will always see on in law's dining table during Chinese New Year. I have known my husband for 17 years and I see this dish every year during Chinese New Year's Reunion dinner. There are other regular dishes too and they are all cooked the same way every year. Even if we are having steamboat, this dish will still appear on the dining table. *giggle*Perhaps its the reason that they are Cantonese and the ingredients used for this dish sounds very auspicious. Dried oyster sounded like 好事 (good deeds; returns) and the moss sounded like 发财 (get rich) in Mandarin. Together it will be 好事发财, lots of good returns and fortune!I usually don't cook with the dried oyster because my son hates it. I don't like to eat it too. I just add it for extra flavours.Ingredients:8 Dried Chinese Mushroom, soaked to soften and stalks removed (do not squeeze dry)10g Dried Sea Moss, soaked to soften and drained4 Dried Oysters, soaked for 5 minutes Seasonings 1:1 ta

Lethal Bizzle is on the cover of Time Out this month. When was the last time he wasn't pictured with sunglasses? When was the last time he was actually seen by someone without them on? I saw him play in a dark, sweaty punk club with Gallows at the Dot To Dot festival earlier this year and kept them on all night. Something's wrong. He's either got conjunctivitis, a gammy eye or he's gone blind. Someone should investigate that further.Come to this night in Hackney Wick on Friday. It will be amazing. I haven't seen Slew Dem all perform together in years. Kode 9 is at FWD>> that night so think of it as an after party.I'm DJing at Sankey's in Manchester with Plastician and Hatcha tomorrow.

Today I was honored in words as a friend chose to use me as the topic for his blog article: obviously he was at a loss for a decent topic! Whatever the reason, it was a pearl in an oyster of a day. And, though I hadn’t intended on returning just yet, after reading his article I felt now was probably time. My friend Keith wrote, “ I confess that the hypocrisy I’ve seen in most churches I’ve attended has been a big turn off for me.” To all my fellow Christians readers I want to apologize for his comments as I know that nothing of the sort would go on in your church. But, I know each of you can probably think of a church where just that type of thing does go on. As Christians are we not called to something higher than this? Jesus said, “ Ye are the salt of the earth; but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted” (Matthew 5:13). Salt is a preservative; y’all knew that, that’s why canned food is always so salty. And that is what we as Christians ar

There’s a Vietnamese restaurant in Footscray that cooks pure vegetarian food. They have some real delicious meals such as wonton soup and rice noodles. Although this recipe is not the same, it’s got a nice flavour to it, similar to a chow mein feel for vegetarians. If you like a bit of warmth, some freshly cut chilli would go down nice with this as a garnish! Ingredients: 1/4 cabbage, roughly chopped salt white pepper 1 tsp ginger minced 1 tsp garlic minced 2 tbs dry sherry 4 button mushroom, sliced 125 grams oyster mushrooms 1 cup vegetarian chicken 2 tbs sesame oil 2 tbs soy sauce 0.5 cup water 1 packet rice noodles, cooked in microwave sesame seeds for garnish Instructions: Heat the cabbage in wok with the pinch salt, pepper, ginger and garlic. Once the cabbage has softened, pour half the water in and simmer the cabbage. Place the mushrooms in the wok and stir in the dry sherry. Pour the remaining water in and add the rice noodles (cooked previously in microwave).

It's another mushroom dish. Told you we love mushrooms! What I like about this King Oyster Mushroom is how it looks like and the texture when it's cooked. I always pass it off as braised sliced abalone. My husband got tricked the first time I did this. *giggle*I prefer to add an additional green with the mushroom. In this case, I added Kai Lan (芥兰) aka Chinese Broccoli. You can always use other veggies. Try this if you are expecting guests for dinner.

It is certainly an alternative to a lemon chicken or sweet and sour pork. Test it out for yourself!! I guarantee you’ll love it!!

New research shows that not only does Viagra help men overcome medical barriers to sex, it’s also an aphrodisiac. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison report this month that sildenafil, sold in the U.S. as Viagra, increases the amount of oxytocin released by the pituitary gland. Sometimes called the “love hormone” or “cuddle chemical,” oxytocin has been linked to sexual arousal and plays several important roles in social interactions and reproduction, including triggering uterine contractions and lactation. It is also released during orgasm. The finding is the first indication that erectile dysfunction drugs like Viagra may have physical effects in addition to increasing blood flow to sexual organs, said study author Meyer Jackson, a physiology professor at the UW-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health, in a news release. Oxytocin release is regulated by an enzyme that acts like a braking system, limiting hormone release by dampenin

Pictures 040.jpg Originally uploaded by midweekpost Pearl's Oyster Bar on Cornelia Street in West Village is one of those places you wish more people knew about for the simple fact that it's delicious but wish less people knew about it because you selfishly want it to be one of those places only 'you' know about it.Clam Chowser, Fried Oysters and a Lobster Roll were the victuals at this particular visit. I do have to thank Angela, the super-foodie, for introducing me to it.

ngredients: Fresh asparagus - allow 6 or 7 spears/person (not too thin, not too old) Fresh or frozen oysters - allow 3 per person 2 T dry white wine 2 only egg yolks 20 g butter (unsalted?) Salt, pepper, cayenne (if you must for seasoning Method: Trim bottom 1″ of the asparagus spears and peel the lower part if necessary (shouldn’t be required if you’ve selected the bunches correctly and trimmed off the bottoms) then poach them gently - get about 1″ of water boiling in a flat pan and lay the spears in it to cook for about 7 minutes (or use a European-style tall asparagus boiler if you must). Cut the oysters into thin strips rather than serving them as lumps. Reserve the juice from the oyster shells - should get about 2 T from 6 oysters. Mix this with the dry white wine and reduce over heat by about 2/3rds (i.e. you’ll have about 1 1/2 T left). Add this liquor and about 4 T of the poaching water slowly to the egg yolks and whisk them over very low heat unt

A one-dish restaurant as fun and unusual as Huîtrerie Régis is rare, so it figures you'd find it in Paris, but only if you're steered there.A huîtrerie is an oyster bar, and Paris is a town that loves its huîtres; most of them come from not-too-far-away Brittany. The oysters are served with appropriate wines: Sancerre, Muscadet, Pouilly-Fumé, Chablis, a couple of rosés and light reds and more. There is real service, real silverware, plenty of ice, dark bread with very good butter and mignonette sauce.The sauce is overkill; even lemon is more than enough because the oysters have so much flavor. There are usually two or three sizes of four varieties, one of which is the increasingly rare belon. The remaining oysters were classified as fines de claires, spéciales de claires and pousse en claires, whose names describe the amount of time each spends growing out in a cleansing pond and the amount of space each is given.To specialize, Huîtrerie Régis really must sell the best oyste

Oyster farming is suitable for small-scale and family business. Oyster or talaba is always in demand, and its culture enjoys the support of the government and various agencies. The country exports oyster to the US, Arabian Peninsula and Japan. In 1985, we sold only 261 kg of fresh and frozen oysters to Okinawa and the Arab states. Exports of preserved oysters to the US reached 2,533 kg in 1985

I made these for lunch after we returned from our flight this morning. My friend Tristan requested them, and since we'd just received a fresh shipment of seafood goodness, I complied.

This is not that kind of a blog!I really enjoy oysters and this is one of my favorite ways to eat them. Sort of like homemade "fast food".

I just finished reading an interesting book about oysters yesterday.  "Oysters?!"  Yes, oysters!  The Big Oyster by Mark Kurlansky (Random House Trade Paperback, 2007) is a fascinating look at the history of the oyster in New York.  "Why would I want to read a whole book about oysters?!"  Ah, therein lies the tale!  You see, this is a book about much more than oysters.READ MORE...

I love simple to cook dishes. And with vegetables, I like them quickly cooked so as to retain the texture and nutrition. Hence, this dish is one of my favourites. Choy Sum (sometimes known as Chinese Mustard Leaves or Chinese Flowering Cabbage or Sawi) is one of the most popular leafy greens available in markets in South East Asia. It can be cooked and eaten on its own or cooked with other ingredients. In most chinese restaurants (especially those in Malaysia), you can order this dish but the price which they charge (approximately RM6.00 and above for a plate) does not justify the price of Choy Sum and the ease of preparation. It’s like getting ripped off. If you can get them from the market, you can cook this dish by your self at home. As long as you know how to boil water and fry “something”, you can be a chef just like those at chinese restaurants. (more…) Share This

This painting was done in very smoky conditions, during the Florida wild fires and the boat was at anchor but moving in the water. I used the basic simple lines to block in leaving out some of the details. I stopped to have lunch and when I returned the boat was gone. I had to finish the painting from memory but I had enough basic information down early in the painting to finish it with little trouble. Anytime you are painting objects from life that can move, they will. The secret is to get all of your basic shapes, colors and design done at the block in stage of the painting so that you can "wing it" if necessary.

Once when we were at Jade Imperial Restaurant at Takashimaya for dim sum, we tried their Assorted Mushroom with Oyster Sauce. It was nice and simple. So I thought I'll give it a try. It turn out not too bad either.Ingredients: 6 large Shitake Mushroom, sliced thick 1 pack Shijimei Mushroom, end, chopped 1 pack White Button Mushroom, sliced thick 1 1/2 tablespoon oyster sauce 1 tablespoon oilHow to do it: Heat oil in wokSaute the mushroom till it's slightly brown.Dish and set aside.Using the same wok (do not clean away the oil), add in the oyster sauce.When the oyster sauce starts to cook and thicken, add the mushroom and coat well.Dish and serve with rice.Note:It's quite a heap of mushroom before wokking but it would soon 'shrink' after you saute.You can add more oyster sauce if you find it insufficient.

Fractals are really quite amazing to watch and this video that zooms in on a Mandelbrot Fractal is no exception. The creator of this video also created a poster of the what he calls the "blue oyster spiral" in 1993 that took 3 days to create using 34 high end Macs.P.S. The song is by a group called "Big Pig". It is a great album. You should go buy it is you don't already have it. Tags: fractal, big pig, google video, video, videorambler

What I think: For quite a few years, I had wanted to get a tattoo done but, like many people, I couldn't really think of anything that I might not be embarrassed about by the time I reach puberty (which has got to happen one of these years, for God's sake). It wasn't until about a year after I'd moved to Sweden, at age thirty-eight, that I'd finally made up my mind. I would get two tattoos on
