While My Pie Gently Weeps (124/365)

 
“Egg whites are good for a lot of things – lemon meringue pie, angel food cake, and clogging up radiators.”

SUBJECT:  Lemon meringue birthday pie

Five days later, I finally made my birthday pie.  The meringue was not as fluffy as I would have liked it and as you can see, it is weeping.  But it is still some damn tasty pie.  I forsee a slice of pie and a large glass of milk for breakfast tomorrow morning.  Mmmm.

Freshly Shucked (079/365)

 
“If you don't love life you can't enjoy an oyster; there is a shock of freshness to it and intimations of the ages of man, some piercing intuition of the sea and all its weeds and breezes. They shiver you for a split second.”

SUBJECT:  Oysters

HandsomeHusband and I headed over to St. Louis to eat some oysters and drink a pale ale at the Schlafly Stout & Oyster Festival.  Mmmm, those were some tasty oysters.  I think the ones pictured above are the Penn Cove Select variety.  We stayed for a dozen and a beer then we walked back to the car, taking pictures of the architecture along the way.  We then moseyed down to the Broadway Oyster bar for another dozen, along with a bucket of crawfish, a cup of gumbo and some shrimp.  It was a perfect afternoon in my opinion.
