Day Two Hundred and Twelve - Oysters

Dear all,

Today Darren surprised me with an evening out in Collingwood. We were originally planning to raid the office for leftover fish and chips and have a secret late night feast on the balcony but the fish and chips were all gone by the time we had returned ( many things can happen in a day) and so we went for Plan B. Before we got to our [original] destination of 'The Beaver and Bulldog' for a couple of pounds of wings, we played the 'unusual' card and found ourselves in 'The Stuffed Peasant' on at 206 Hurontario Street, (705 445 6957) and it was a delight!

We had a FABULOUS impromptu meal at the restaurant. It is relatively new to the High Street and the owner Scott is a good friend of Linda and advocate of all thing local, fresh and of exceptional quality.

And it just so happened that this evening, the special was Oysters...

Having grown up beside the ocean, I really should have [at some point] tried Oysters, but to this day, I had not. Darren revelled in the excitement of my first crack at an Oyster and ordered a dozen on the spot. The Oysters were fresh from Prince Edward's Island the hot spot for sea food in Canada and somewhere that I would love to visit.

Here is a video for my first attempt at eating Oysters and all I can say is that they i

have instantly become one of my favorite things.

My new goal in life is to earn enough money to have Oysters at least once a week! hurrah! I love life goals and especially Lottery Tickets!
