I just wish I had some fresh oysters and crab last night. That was the usual 'main course' at the gatherings I went to. I remember how they would have large tables and they would just dump the piles of shrimp, crab, scallops and oysters in the middle and every one would just help themselves.

MAN, was that good stuff! I would be moaning by the time I finished. Since we were not supposed to eat today at all, that feast was integral to surviving till midnight tonight. (The fridges that would get raided after midnight on this night was so funny to me. Once I hit adulthood, I had to laugh as we would sit watching the clock while pretending that we were not.)
