"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Personal Notes:
Originally this recipe was an attempt to copy a favorite menu item that had disappeared from the menu at Randy’s restaurant in Durango, Colorado. Over time it incorporated an ingredient from a chicken dish, served by a very dear friend and my adopted mother, Karen. With my own modifications and a little help from my friends I managed to make a dish that everyone seems to want over and over. My friends use it to serve first time guests because it always gets rave reviews. I used it as a staple in our home in Durango, while raising three children with full time careers.
I just made this for my husband last night to make sure it could be done in 45 minutes. I made it just in the nick of time and he said it was the best ever!
