Scalloped Oysters for dinner tommorrow!

I adore oysters!  Fried, scalloped, oyster stew ( raw maybe not so much), oyster roasts all are some of  my very  favorite foods to enjoy!

For Thanksgiving I made scalloped oysters but the oysters came from the Northwest. They were tasted but big oysters really too big… I much prefer either my Tybee oysters or Chesapeake Bay / Eastern Shore oysters!   I’m making Scalloped oysters with Chesapeake Bay standard size oysters.  Just the right size!  The oyster dish is all ready for the oven tomorrow and boy does it look good!

Doesn't this look yummy!

About the artists, Bo and Morgen:

Mona's Christmas Mermaid

“In August of 2011, an introduction by the pianist at our church led to a personal and professional relationship which has encouraged us to explore our creative talents.
Bo uses wood, both harvested and found, to create beautiful pieces of furniture and home decor items.  He also enjoys capturing local scenery with watercolors.
Morgen enjoys painting with acrylics, photographing the beautiful region in which they live, and creating whimsical items with polymer clay.”

We love learning about these wonderful artists from Darien, GA and we look forward to meeting more of their mermaids!  Thanks to Mermaid Mona for sharing and y’all be sure to send your Mermaid Sightings to diane@mermaidcottages.com.  Mermaids add just the right touch to your holiday decorations!
