"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:
These were one of my Dad Verne's favorites. They are yummy just as they are or dunked in coffee. My Dad use to say he liked his coffee best when it was so hot that you could only sip it! I remember my Mom filling his thermos every morning with fresh coffee for him to take to work.
