Really enjoyed this one Kanzeda! The only change I made was to cook 6 oysters in a bowl as a more substantial entree, I think if I went to a dinner party and only got the one oyster I'd be hoping a few others at the table didn't like them! Because of the larger amount I steamed for six minutes rather than three. The vinaigrette had a very distinctive taste and aroma but was just right to add to the taste of the oysters rather than take away from them.

I love to cook, to feed people and to experiment. Unfortunately I have a very limited audience, so most of my creations are reserved for me alone. My BF is a sort of picky eater and all of my favorites he dislikes, so I'm learning how to get around lots of ingredients. Like mushrooms (so sad), tomatoes and onions... who cooks without onions? In this one way, it's almost a good thing that our schedules allow for only 3 meals a weeks together :-)
