It does not say in the ad, it says origin USA. We got them last year for a Mardi Gras party and they were big. I have never met an oyster thta is not a PITA to open and we used gloves and oyster knives because I have cut myself opening oysters before. But my H and I were able to open them ourselves and we are novices so not a total PITA.
After shucking about 60% of them we would put them on the grill for a second, they pop and voila! Joy!
I can't afford $15 a dozen - I can easily eat 2 dozen.
If you don't want the box of 100 they do have a dozen for $6.
I ask because I grew up in Louisiana and spent many a fine afternoon with an oyster knife in one hand a beer in the other. When I moved up here I was missing them and found some Bay ones at the grocery and was disappointed
Are we talking bay oysters (smaller and a PITA to open) or the bigger ocean oysters?

This the way, usually only I drive however. I stay up the night before then sleep all day and we leave right after dinner. We do this for trips to FLorida or home to Louisiana
5 boxes from the parent of a Girl Scout in the next cubicle, NONE of which will make it home, they are mine alllllllllll MINE muh-haha
Yes you can reuse it, think about all those resturaunts using the same oil for days to do their frying. One thing to think about however is what you have fried in it. Frying veggies or your empanadas you can use the same oil over and over for different things. Once you use it for frying meats however, like doing a turkey, you want to use it for the same meats unless you want cross flavors because the meats put their own fats into the oil changing the taste.

Don't freak us all out!
Yes but at least you checked and have currently set your mind at ease. Keep checking now and then however. Also keep an eye on what he is watcing on WWE some of those "valets" and female wrestlers do bikini and lingerie spreads that get posted as well.
My parents has sex twice. Once for me and once for my sister.
Howver I'll never forget finding mom's diaphram drying on the bathroom counter
I wouldn't freeze it since you would end up taking it out again today to thaw it. However since the meat is already cooked it should be fine as long as you kept it in the refridgerator, it would almore be like storing leftovers.
Someone posted this link in an earlier thread about snooping through your kids electronics http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=96. I read some of the threads on it and was thankful that mine are only seven and panicked at the same time about some of the things that these girls some as young as your daughter were talking about.

It's easy to say that but figure that it will be at least until the child drives before he/she is truely independent enough for you to put that plan into action. There is always something to do or somewhere to take them. Hopefully by the time that arrives in another decade or so your marriage will have survived the way you want it to and you and your spouse aren't just two people occupying the same house.
Do what you have to to keep your marriage strong now and then in 10 years you won't have to try to reconnect.
This coming from the idiot who believes swinging will strengthen your marriage. Please.
If swinging is the method you choose to keep connected then so be it. However what I said in my post doesn't necessarily have anything to do with sex. Keep connected with your spouse, talk to them about things other than what is on the kids scedule for the weekend. Try and date your husband or wife if not once a week then regularly. Set aside time for each other, be willing to tell the kids that they have to wait a few minutes to get that drink because mommy and daddy are talking. Show your spouse that you still care for them as a person, friend, and yes even lover and not the the co-parent of your children. Keep that connection alive now and then when the kids all leave you won't have to reconnect later. Plus your children will hopefully have better relationships with their own spouses because you will have shown them what it takes to have a good marriage.
Your's would have to fight with mine's twin brother for the shrimp And to make things strange, he doesn't like shrimp but will go to town on clams too. They are 7 as well. I grew up in the south so much of what I cook is full of vegatables and spices. They both love my beans and rice with andouille sausage and five types of pepper (hot enough to clear your sinuses. They both also have a appreciation for tabasco.

ALL of the kids eat what you and DH eat (hopefully, "real" food, as opposed to kiddie food) every night. If they are not hungry, they don't have to eat a lot, but one bite of each item. Then NOTHING MORE until breakfast, which is at a generally set time (7:00 a.m.?) every day, even weekends.
Tighten up the ship, mom!
Do you have kids? Seriously, there's no way my kids have the pallet to eat the types of spices and flavors that DH and I have. I don't expect my kids to eat enchiladas or salmon. I give them cheese quesadillas and fish sticks. Your advice is not a great idea for a kid that has shown his determination not to eat certain foods. And then you want to take away the only meal he likes?
I'm thinking you haven't actually been through this except in the books. Don't you know: you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink!
Why do you think your kids will not like the enchiladas or salmon? You give them the same thing you eat, at most taking out something like jalapenos from an enchilada. One of mine doesn't eat shrimp so when I make something like scampi he gets the same pasta and the same sauce minus the shrimp. Cooking seperate meals encourages and rewards the picky eater. Besides like mom used to say, "How do you know you don't like it if you never even tried it."
