Oyster shooters help.
Sake, ponzu sauce, shaved green onions and chili. Yeah…lots of ‘em help.
Maybe an oyster shooter sounds gross to you, I mean, two months ago I wouldn’t have considered trying one. Last December, I nearly choked to death on my very first giant raw oyster – but that was precisely because it was a giant raw oyster that still had sand and shell particles clinging to it. Blech.
On my birthday in April, I gave raw oysters a second chance, with Mignonette sauce. OMG. OMFG. I discovered I love them. These were really good – small, delicate freshy-fresh-fresh oysters and they made me feel so happy! Last month, my husband, daughter and I went out for oysters and just this past weekend, my eyes all swollen and nasty from crying, I tossed back spicy oyster shooters like they were no big thing. I can’t say they were the best, but they were alcoholic and the ponzu sauce was tasty. Hey,you gotta do what you gotta do.
I let my mom and dad take care of me for a couple days. They came to my book signing to hear me speak about death and dying and to listen to my reading. Ironic, eh? I read the funny chapter.
Coming this week: Stacey Espino and her new book, Saving Grace.
A preview of my four-part science fiction series, Daughters of Persephone.
Katalina Leon may be here too, if we can make the arrangements – to talk about her newest release, Owned By Rome.
Anybody watch True Blood tonight? The season premier! I was not in the mood but I’ll watch it On Demand. I hope this season is as good as it promises!
