going through an oyster phase

the root of a craving

I’m eating them at least once a week, which is not in my budget in Austin, where they’re expensive due to Texas being landlocked.

The Gulf oysters don’t count—these oysters are too big (grotesque). Oysters should be small, like the ones I first learned to eat on the East Coast. Able to fit perfectly atop your tongue, or in the cup of your palm.

It’s sop…
