"To cook is to create. And to create well...
is an act of ingenuity, and faith."

Mama Lou's Thanksgiving Scalloped Oysters

"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."
~ Eleanor Clark

Thanksgiving Scalloped Oysters
Saveur Archives

1/4 pound saltines
7 tablespoons butter
2 cups shucked, well-drained oysters
1 cup cream

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a small baking dish, about 8-by-8 inches. Crush the saltines into small pieces with a rolling pan or the bottom
of a pan, to fill about 2 cups. Melt 4 tablespoons butter. Roughly chop the oysters. Spread 1/3 of the cracker crumbs in the bottom of the dish. Pour
in 1/2 of the oysters and mix into crackers a bit with fingertips, then drizzle
in 2 tablespoons butter. Repeat this process, ending with the crackers.
Slowly pour 1 cup cream along edges of the dish; dot with 1 tablespoon
butter. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, and brown under broiler for 3 minutes.
Serves 6.
