Frightened Oysters...and an incredible gift!!!

These are some of my goofy frightened oysters on the half-shell. But, enough about that ;-). I just got an email from a wonderful customer of mine who knows that I am planning on going to Chicago next year, and she wants to give me her frequent flyer miles (which will go unused by a certain date)!!! To me AND my mom!?? So we would be flying there and back at no cost, first class :-O!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Wow!! It can't be said enough that "miniature people" are the kindest, most generous folk on the planet!!!!

    Those are hilarious!
    I am so glad to hear you are planning to go. I will be going back too. I am looking forward to meeting you and Kristy.
    Come over to my blog and throw your hat in the ring for the give away.

    And I have to say that that's how I would look like if I had to eat an oyster :D Tried them once and that was enough for me thank you :D I do like them cooked though.

    Kiva, my invitation stands: you and your mom can stay at my house if you wish. I'll be at the show, too, so we can drive together.

    Kiva, that is so totally cool that your customer is so totally awesome! I can't wait for next year. I'll take you, your Mom and Kristy to see the Thorne Rooms. But darn, we have to wait an entire year!

    Once again your crazy food is singing, but oysters can't be named the Atkinson Spuds.

    HAHA!! Thanks guys!!! I kind of envy those of you who can choke down raw oysters. It is the ONLY seafood that I can't eat raw :-/. And I've tried, many times!! I do eat them fried, in stews, and just about any other way as long as they're cooked.

    YES, I am SO freaking excited about going to the show next year!!!! I won't be selling, though. I've never sold at a show before. I am just going to shop, eat, drink, get inked, see my buddies, and hit that monster Bishop show!!!!

    Hey Steph!!!! I will take a ton of pics, I promise!!

    Correction, Keevster! This is mom. If you go alone, you can go first class, but if your pain in the butt mom goes with you, it's coach.
    No matter how you get there, you'll be able to see all your wonderful friends in the flesh.
    A gift from a lovely lady!
