"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:
Personal Notes:
Jeanie notes that this is a hit for children and adults. The ladies like the presentation as well as the taste. Would be lovely at a children's tea party too. I have always done the same daffodils in the spring, but it could be done every season with whatever flower is in bloom. Christmas season could even be done with a poinsettia. I use a plastic terra cotta pot and keep all my supplies together in a bag so easy to locate for the next time I make this recipe.
