Natrional Oyster Rockefeller Day

Today, January the 10th is National Oyster Rockefeller Day.  So, go out and gobble down a dozen of those slimy creatures.

Before you eat the first one think about this:  What you are about to eat, probably swallow whole, is alive.  That is true, oysters are served alive.  I think it is done this way, because that is the cheapest way to keep them fresh.  After they are no longer living they begin to rot instantly.

But, on the upside, one may have an expensive pearl in it, right?
