Love Story: a Tennessee tale
A love story
"It had been a while since we had oysters (living in Tennessee doesn't lend itself to the option very often; which is a shame, since I grew up near Apalachicola), so we decided to order some from Real Oyster Cult for the weekend.
We put on some music and were enjoying drinks while I made a mignonette and Tyler whipped up some accoutrements.
Tyler told me to sit by the fireplace and read while he shucked (what...

Let's do it like the Parisians
2020 here we come
The French know how to live: No one who's been to Paris could disagree. They live life, and they enjoy it. Food isn't perfunctory, it's savored with laughter, conversation, and style...Et mais bien sûr, they ring in New Year's with oysters. It's tradition.
Dear cult: we wish you bonne chance (good luck), la paix (peace), and l'amour (love) in the new year. We'll be with you in spirit: imbibing oysters and champagne and dancing in the moonlight. 2020 here we come 🍾🍾 🍾
