I am sitting on the train, watching overcast English skies drizzling rain down - a somewhat depressing view - so I am attempting to cheer myself up with the thought the clouds bring to mind these Greenport oysters I ate during mine and Jenny's birthday celebrations.
~
Although not the largest or plumpest oysters I've ever eaten, nor be singled out as having a particularly unique taste, nonetheless they were rich and some of the freshest I've ever had - a real gulp of the ocean. Clams, I hadn't eaten in years although they rate quite highly in my List of Preferred Seafoods, and these were particularly tasty little morsels. Accompanying these were various sauces, including a delightful shallot & vinegar Mignonette (see here for similar recipe).
It wasn't entirely sunshine for our birthday weekend however, as you can see from this photo across Greenport Harbour to Shelter Island.

Belated happy birthday! And I agree - clams ROCK. We will be in Boston at the end of October and I fully intend gorging on oysters and clams!

Ooh, have a great time! There's an exhibition of Art Nouveau jewellery on at the Boston Museum (with lots of Lalique pieces) that I desperately wanted to see, but sadly couldn't justify the cost/time on during my vacation.
