BBQ Oysters

One of my favorite cabin activities, and one that usually keeps us all happily occupied, is cooking. There is never a shortage of amazing food at the cabin, and one of my personal favorites has become a tradition; BBQ Oysters. Not to say a raw oyster isn't great, but what isn't better slathered in garlic and butter? The recipe is simple, we buy medium oysters (slightly larger than shooters) from Tom Farmer, a little oyster shack in Allyn about 20 minutes from the cabin. Toss the whole oysters on the BBQ and once they pop, shuck the top off and slather with a mixture of olive oil, butter and garlic. Top with grated parmesan cheese and parsley and let bake for a few minutes. Simple as that, and before you know it you'll have gone through a few dozen.

Beauty Blog

Ok, I'm not proud of this, possibly even embarrassed, but there is a pretty rad beauty blog I've found that has lots of cool tips and tricks. The reason I'm slightly embarrassed? One of it's contributers in Lauren Conrad... yup, good 'ol LC. But hey, what the hell, we all like to feel pretty and sometime could use a few pointers, so why not? Go on, check it out, I know you want to...
