What's the date on the oysters? Super cheap.I had a weird combination for dinner today. Hamburgers and pan fried oysters.🙃 It went down pretty good though with a fresh garden salad and an ice cold Coke.

Dec. 7th and 10th.
I'd been keeping an eye on those oysters to be marked down for a week, but couldn't get to the store because of work.
When I went this morning I was surprised to even see em still in the case especially with some cans outdated. I asked the manager what he would take for the outdated oysters and it shocked him. He ran over to the case and checked dates and grabbed all of em and told me to wait for him. I waited for a few minutes and he returned and asked me what I was planning to do with the oysters I told him I was gonna fish with em, so he made em cheap.

The store had a meat manager 3 or 4 years ago that hated oysters. He would mark em down dirt cheap to get em out of there. I bought like 25 half pints a couple of times for dirt cheap and the use by date would be a month off. I ate oysters until I couldn't eat another! Some of the pics are back through this thread somewhere.

I absolutely love oysters but can never find em anywhere near what I consider cheap. I do however schedule all my diabetic appointments on Friday evenings. The Dr I see is located in a town with a Shoney's that has all you can eat seafood on Fridays and they have fried oysters. I eat till I'ma bouta bust

Looks great!
I don't often post it, but we love cabbage and have it pretty often. Fried cabbage is one of our favorite ways to cook it.

Made another big ol batch of hardtack. 3 cups of flower, 2 1/4 cups of water, 3 tbs sea salt, 4tbsp olive oil then added garlic, Italian and pepper.
The olive oil keeps it softer. Not as shelf stable but dang it’s good.

I made a couple chocolate pies but didn’t make meringue, ready whip it is ha. These were the very best chocolate pies I’ve ever put into my mouth though made with a new recipe I came across. It used bittersweet baker’s chocolate squares rather than the traditional cocoa powder.

Biscuits and gravy on the flattop. I just wanted to try it after watching Flattopking on YouTube. I used canned biscuits and they actually came out better than in the oven. I needed bacon grease so I broke out the cast iron pan and fried up a pack of thick cut Wright.
Makeshift oven for biscuits.
Should have greased rack, had one stick.

Pretty slick way to make biscuits on a griddle!Biscuits and gravy on the flattop. I just wanted to try it after watching Flattopking on YouTube.

I used to make biscuits in a covered skillet on the stove top when there was just my wife and me. I never thought of putting a rack in the skillet and actually baking em.
