Thanks for the recipe. Have copied it and put it in my small recipe box (try not to cook much anymore.Let hubby do it.)Probably won’t get to try it for Thanksgiving, maybe for Christmas. Sounds delicious-love oysters (cooked, not on the half shell)

Stopped having Thanksgiving here two years ago when the crowd numbered over 30 with all the children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, widowed aunt and my widowed sister. After 40+ years of hosting the holiday, I still miss it.

Will be making all the pies you mentioned, plus apple and blueberry and a hugh grapenut pudding. A lot of these desserts will go to relatives in nursing homes who look forward to them every year, especially the mince pie and grapenut pudding.

Have to confess, hubby makes all the pies and I make the pudding.

>>>Stopped having Thanksgiving here two years ago when the crowd numbered over 30 with all the children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, widowed aunt and my widowed sister.<<<

We finally came to the conclusion that we will have Thanksgiving Breakfast for kids, grandkids, etc. because when they have more than one set of parents and grandparents, it really is hard on them... LOL they were trying to eat 3 different Thanksgiving dinners to keep everyone happy, so we opted out and I still cook a ton of food, but also have about three types of quiche, cinnamon rolls,sticky buns, fruit cup, etc.. for a big breakfast - then they have one less dinner to eat. Of course they find a thing or two that they want me to save them some leftovers from too.

>>>love oysters<<<

Same here... along with crab and clam too. Big thing around here are fried oyster sandwiches and crab cakes... Wish we had scallops and lobster like you do up your way... I think I could eat my weight in scallops...

Here we are starting the third month of oyster season and I still haven’t had any yet... Good oyster stew sounds particularly good with the cold rainy weather we are having (supposed to last well into the weekend).

that's very sweet of you to take deserts to relatives in nursing homes.

How do you make your grapenut pudding? Sounds good.
