Steel This Recipe

You know how many times I have wandered upon a restaurant that my initial thought is "remember Marilyn, it's not about the food, the decor, the music, the ambience - it's about the company" I enter the space knowing I am not here to be wowed and then surprise! Something on the menu changes my mind, even if it is only that one dish... Now I am not a mollusk lover by any means and though I wholeheartedly support my local clam and oyster fisherman, I dare to slurp on one. We took a 2 day journey down to the Rappahannock in Virginia to see our favorite aunt and uncle and relax on the river with family. We took the boat for some lunch with our girls and oysters are the way to go. I ordered some land lubber safety net and a delicious cold Sculpin Grapefruit for a sunny day but there was something on the menu luring me in. I asked if Aunt Marie and Uncle Frank enjoy oysters and of course they did! They live on a sail boat for pete sake... Great I will order these and you eat them and tell me what you think because boy do they sound awesome! Grilled oysters with bourbo and chipotle BBQ Now not only did I try one but we had a second plate... I know they were grilled and covered in gooey sauce but at least I am now stepping into uncharted oyster territory Baby steps!

vieques puerto rico

sitting poolside sippin a cold frosty beer watching the waves roll in yes there is surf in Vieques.... bravos de boston couldn't be a finer place to unwind. stop in town early morning for some fresh pasties and possibly a cerveza if you are so incline. not sure of the name of the joint but just go to the center of Isabella and look for the lazy days of Cuba when sittin on the stoop chillin was a perfect way to enjoy a sunny day. Don't ask for anything fancy just straight up is how they poor it here and at our other favorite watering hole, El Sombrero.  Don't let the drunken chatter fool you, the wine selection in the back temperature controlled room is nothing close to shabby. The prices on the Don Piedro can;'t be beet. try the two star it's lighter... If you are hankerin for some Labrador ribs head to the Blue Crab and your whole experience will bring you back to Normandy. If you want to try something off the beaten path even for Vieques head over the Barefoot Bes...
