Since you are such a fucking idiot that you did not realize that acorn squash are for eating and not just for festive centerpieces, here is a recipe. It is easy to make, and you can do most of the work ahead of time and bake it off when you want to eat.
Squash is good. But where's the cheese? I made a savory bread pudding with butternut squash and kale (whatever, haters, kale is delicious) and hella cheese. Pleased with own accomplishment. https://uploads.disquscdn.c...
I finally learned the history of the Wonkette canned clam joke. It had nothing to do w/something I said blahdy blah. No, no it didn't. But does it go back to Ken Layne days ?
God, I love beef & barley soup. The barley get's soft on the outside and chewy in the middle, and beef is this falling apart braised texture...so yum.
Not exactly. Imagine you have a jar and a box of whole oyeters. Open the oysters and dump shell contents into the jar. See that clear gunk? Along with the oysters is slimey goo called oyster liquor. Its their body fluids. That's what that stuff is unless you have an unscrupulous dealer who adds salt water to them to make them seem plumper. Know your shucker!
Up North, we have smoked oysters in peel-top cans, but I've never seen jarred oysters. Is there a brand or is it like in Florida where they have white, unlabeled cartons of Fresh O.J ? Kind of like surplus o's available even at the convenience store ? I just wasn't sure how they keep them from spoiling....I guess brine would shrivel them up.I know what oyster liquor is having worked in five Garde-mangers where I shucked on the regular.
All of our oysters are farmed today. Each farm gets a labeled jar lid or a band around the jar saying who's they are and which river they came from. Each area tastes different. Look! A link to some very good ones (in plastic though)http://jandwseafood.com/oys...These come from about half an hour away from where I live. Try these fried if you want to taste some good marsh munchies!
I Like the Idea. Anyone going to object if I use WILD RICE insteadof the Barley?
Nice! Thank you.

Are the oysters in brine ?

That's the dumbed down version of deglazing

Haha ! Thanks VirginiaMorningBlend. I will check-out the link. It sounds cool, the jarring of O's w/ information where they come from. 😀
WANT!!!!!
Whole hog sausage from a local butcher shop is most excellent.
As are acorn squash. No need to swear at me Fitz Chest, at least not for that.
I don't care much for that anyway.
So do the Chinese. And the Polynesians. And the Germans. And ...
Fancy-pants!
