100% picking some up if they're there. BBQ until they crack open, split them open and add butter, hot sauce, and a bit of whiskey. We used to make a whole bar of ingredients at the grill so people could make their own. Shallots, garlic, parsley, different booze. Lots of fun.

Thanks for the heads up on the oysters, I'm the only one in our family that can enjoy eating raw oysters, a little squeeze of lemon and I'm good to go. However, usually when the tubs are on sale, my wife prefers to have me make our own version of Rockefeller. Of coarse a given amount of garlic, shallots, green onions, hot sauce, spinach, and an exotic cheese. Bacon always! Usually, a sharp cheese like the Costco size Welsh sharp cheddar. Plus I usually finish it off with some drips of Harvey's Bristol Cream. Broiled in the oven at 450 F for 10-15 mins. Plus I use the shells to make these in, and reuse them about a dozen times before replacing them.

I went to a thriftys in Nanaimo, they didn’t have any. the kid said the fisherman we’re having difficulty getting any oysters due to the weather…?! Too wet for oysters I guess lol
Maybe it’s a gas problem??

Other Risks: Strong southerly winds over exposed coastal sections Tuesday morning.

Rib Eye AAA steaks or roasts on sale at Thrifty's this week. $18.99 a pound.
A great price for what I find to be the best cut of meat available!
More flavor than tenderloin and better on all counts than New York Strip steaks.
