Good morning, readers. First, help Rebecca H. bring back Thanksgiving memories by finding a recipe for authentic Eastern Shore oyster dressing, and tell her where to find briny oysters locally.
You are now entering the Long-Lost-and-Not-Found Department, where we need your help with Heath Bar dessert, recipes using fresh ginger and an Indian red lentil dish.
Rebecca D. wrote, “I am looking for an oyster dressing recipe. … My father grew up in Owings Mills, Md., and my grandparents served oyster dressing (and beef consommé, but I don’t care to find that). The oyster dressings that I’ve had in the last few years have been too runny and made with crackers. Anyone know of an authentic recipe that hails from the Eastern Shore? And while we’re on the topic, where should one buy fresh briny oysters in Chattanooga?”
June Plunkett credits Paula Deen for her entry in the baked spaghetti discussion. She explained that “we like it better than lasagna. I keep a batch in my freezer to have on hand for potluck when I need it.”
