damn wagon!!!

I never had 'em either Loriely....I was looking on the Kraft Canada site for a plain pb recipe (peanut butter, not "pb" as WE know it! LOL) and came across this pb bananna one and since I have a couple of nanners to get rid of; thought I'd try it.

Last batch is in the oven right now. I'll let y'all know how they turn out.

If nothing else, the house smells yummy!!

....and I didn't lick the bowl!

never tried a mussell. are those those things in a shell that you swallow whole?

[green 6]

Nope, those are oysters and you eat 'em while they are still alive. My husband got very, very sick after eating a bad one in Halifax this summer. Mussels are a shellfish too but you have to cook them first. I find that they taste a lot less "fishy" than oysters.

I've never had oysters, as in the ones you have to swallow whole... and I guess I never will, now! (no swallowing anything that big whole!)

I've always liked smoked oysters, the ones you buy in the cans. My mom and my treat, all the time, was crackers, a squeeze of squeeze cheeze, a little slice of ham, a yum yum pickle slice, and an oyster on top! Mmmmmm... so good.

But, I did have mussels this summer in PEI. They were ok... cheap at least!

Nope, those are oysters and you eat 'em while they are still alive.

Oh my... are you sure they're still alive?!

I loooooooooooooooove smoked oysters!!! Thank god I'm not allergic to THOSE!

I used to love mussels too until one day my body decided to reject them (violently!). It took me awhile to "learn" that it wasn't going to go away. I am now vewwwwwy vewwwwwy careful.

A couple of years ago, while down East at a salad bar I put what I thought was smoked oysters on my plate; I put one in my mouth; didn't even chew it....just realized as it hit my tongue that it was not an oyster, and was, instead a mussel. A soon as I realized my mistake, I spat it out. One hour later, I was in the hospital......I hadn't even CHEWED it let alone swallowed any.

All that to say, now I am VERY cautious.

Oh my... are you sure they're still alive?!

Yep, I'm pretty sure that they are still alive. I think that they are toxic once they've died but are still raw. I only had a raw one once. Some creep in France forced me to try one while I was at a dinner party on New Year's Eve. I gagged and almost spewed the thing up. It tasted very, very fishy. I'm an inland, Toronto born and raised, kid and never acquired a liking for that taste. In fact I hate the taste and the smell of fish!

This caused me a bunch o problems when I was living in France with the Frenchman. He was a great cook who happened to really love fish. He was certain that he could make a convert out of me. This didn't work out but then neither did the relationship.:faint:

As for the effects of the bad oyster my husband ate, omigawd! He was so sick! We were there for my nephew's wedding and there were lots of festivities. The dude missed them all. He was running a fever and running from both ends much of the time. I was stuffing him with Immodium and Gravol. His GI tract remained a little wonky for a couple of weeks afterward.
