[Leica] Oysters

[sonc.hegr at gmail.com (Sonny Carter)]

The vegetable variety available here in the states is safe and fairly
interesting.  One can eat vegetarian meals all the time, but it takes
ingenuity to understand how to cook them, and often it takes a long time to
coax the elusive flavor from them.

My Sister in Law is a Vegan, and has attempted to get me to make a
Vegetarian Gumbo, and I fear I would be thrown out of Louisiana if I
complied.

I'm afraid I will continue to take the risk as  statistically you could eat
several thousand oysters in Louisiana without running into a bad one, which
is more than I can say for broccoli. ;-)
