I wonder if my design of the American Christmas Flag is successful in your opinion and will people want such a flag for Christmas as one of the new symbols of American Christmas?https://verygoodart.substack.com/p/christmas-flag-of-the-usa-1150dpi

I had my first raw oyster at the Oyster Bar and I will forever enjoy that little detail of my culinary journey.

Thank you, Ruth for this missive. It hit so many sweet spots for me. The Oysters in cream recipe has been sent to the family and it's now on the menu for next week when I'm visiting them on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. I ordered a Christmas pudding (and more!) from Talbot & Arding to be delivered there too. And heck, everyone gets a bottle of Suehiro Citrus Ponzu under the tree this year! (BTW, the Japanese Pantyr is out of stock, but I found it at Japanese Taste. (www.japanesetaste.com) Again, thank you, Ruth!

I can hardly believe it. Of all the recipes in all the world, you chose the Oyster Roast recipe from the back page of an issue of Gourmet. I have made that recipe at Christmas for 25 years. What a hoot! As I can attest: it’s a keeper!
