Thanks for your suggestions. No, manicotti is not out of the question.

Can anyone please help me? Many years ago my Grandmother who lived in NY used to make a lemon icebox cake with some kind of white icing on it and it was so good. She is gone and I would love to try and make it, but can't find a recipe. I would appreciate any help.

Somehow one of the cats or the puppy *cough* put my bag of potatoes in the deep freeze. Any chance they are usable?

I don't think so, Serate, not if they weren't cooked before going into the freezer. They'll go a gross grey colour when you pull them out. Lucky for you, though, potatoes are cheap.

I hate when the cat does stuff like that. My *cough* hairless cat is always using the last of my conditioner.

I bought some fresh, live oysters yesterday from the market. My fish market used to sell these most fantastic, better-than-sex stuffed oysters with bacon and parmesan. They stopped selling them so I'm gonna make 'em myself at home.

The woman at the market told me the easiest way to open them is to steam them in a bit of water until they open, then crack off the top shell and drain out the liquid.

Can I freeze the stuffed oysters after having steamed them open? (There's only eight of 'em, so I'm sure Donners and I can scarf down four a piece, but just in case...)

Ok, never mind the 'can I freeze them' question. I bought eight of them, and when I steamed them to open them, only TWO opened. Everything I look at says to discard the ones that don't open. So I need to toss 3/4 of the oysters I purchased?? Is this a typical ratio, or should I be calling my fishmonger to complain?

I'm quite bummed about this. Sure, they're not terribly expensive, but at 75c a piece, they're pricey enough. Never mind the bacon and cheese mix that I have WAY too much of. Who wants to eat only one stuffed oyster?

Well look at it this way, only one each means you won't get sick of them so will want them again.

The bacon cheese mixture, what's in it?

Bacon (cooked really crispy then crumbled small), parmesan, parsley, finely chopped green onion, pinch of chipotle chili powder (seriously, a pinch... this is strong stuff!) breadcrumbs (about even amounts breadcrumbs and parmesan) and melted butter.

Put a drop or two of tabasco on the oyster, then press the mixture on top of the oyster in the shell, bake for about 20 mins at 350 - 375.


But does this mean that the fish market is selling dead oysters to everyone? Maybe I should call them. One in four doesn't seem a very reasonable ratio to me.

I know nothing about oysters except I won't eat them!

If it weren't for the breadcrumbs that topping would be good on potato skins just not sure how the breadcrumbs would taste. Maybe mushrooms?

Hmm.. the breadcrumbs are really just to hold it all together, and not use just cheese to do that. I say, skip the breadcrumbs, heavy up on the cheese, and love those potatoes.

As for them all being dead already, I called the woman who sold them to me. She failed to tell me when I bought them yesterday that she put them in a plastic bag before wrapping them up for me! No wonder they died, suffocating overnight in a plastic bag!

On the upside, she told me to remind her next time I'm in and she'll "make it right". :-) I was really craving those tonight.

Glad you called her, Karen. I was just got here and was going to recommend you let the fish market know. 0-5% would be a more likely fail ratio, I would think.

Thanks, Juju... it was one of those unfortunate misunderstandings. I was buying halibut for a fish n' chip deep fry with some friends last night, so when I added the oysters onto the bill she assumed they were to accompany the seafood feast. I was planning to have them tonight, not last night, so I kept them overnight in the fridge, apparently drenched in plastic. :-( Poor oysters.

That said... has anyone ever chopped up an oyster? Oh, my, the visual of what those things look like on the inside is almost enough to make you stop eating them. I chopped up the two that DID open for my cats. They went crazy, but I nearly gagged at the sight. Oysters, me thinks, are really a 'don't ask, don't tell' type food, LOL.

Karen I was just trying to come up with something for you to use the bacon.cheese mixture. Sorry your oysters were dead.

Yes there was, I had started it ages ago. I came in here yesterday to look at some of the recipes to do in my crock pot again, and Poof! they are gone. Maybe I should start another thread for the fall and winter use of crock pots across america, teehee

We went to Chevy's the other night and on the plate was this sweet corn mush type stuff that was REALLY REALLY GOOD. Does anyone know what it was. My guess was cornmeal and sweet corn, but I couldn't say for sure. DH and I loved it. Any ideas?

I went to the Chevy's website, checked the menu. Started going through the different options. With fajitas I found sweet corn tomalito was served on the side. Looked it up on yahoo, says it's a steamed corn pudding.

Here is one recipe somebody found in a newspaper and states it is Chevy's recipe.

Here is a recipe w/o the fat or dairy that supposedly tastes the same.
