Oyster Stew

This recipe is an Oliver family tradition.  (My family eats pop tarts for breakfast on Christmas morning, this took some getting used to.)  My husband's great grandfather served a mission in Ireland and this is the Christmas morning tradition that is the result.  There are two really important things to remember: Don't skimp on the cream, and don't look too closely at the oysters, they aren't pretty.  I took this recipe from the Fannie Farmer Cookbook (1990).

2 cups milk
2 cups light cream
2 cups shucked or canned oysters and their juice
Salt
3 tablespoons butter

Heat the milk and cream in a pot; do not boil.  Add  the oysters and any oyster juice and simmer for 5 minutes.  Season to taste with salt.  Add the butter, heat until it melts, and serve very hot.

We like it with plenty of oyster crackers.  (And pop tarts on the side.)

Merry Christmas!!

Pumpkin Muffins

I made these for breakfast this morning and they were yummy!

http://www.verybestbaking.com/recipes/144769/LIBBYS-Pumpkin-Muffins/detail.aspx

I cut the sugar down to 1 cup and was glad I did.  They were plenty sweet.  I also used 2 cups whole wheat flour and 1 cup white.  I could have used all whole wheat, they were very light and fluffy.

I would also like them with some shredded carrots, raisins, and chopped pecans, but then my family would accuse me of ruining them, but hey, then there would be more for me!
