I am trying to impress my new beau. he's in town next week and am planning the menu for a nice dinner. he mentioned one time he likes Oyster Stew so i've been looking at recipes online trying to decide which one to use.
If anyone has made it before and has a fool proof recipe, please share it My mom used to make it for my dad when i was little but she used Campbell's as a base and added canned oysters and milk. ( I think i'll use half and half, regardless of the recipe ingredients).

oysters
Hey home girl:
I've got the BEST recipie... I tried several over the summer and mixed them together to get my special " retard can make oyster stew" recipie. I used fresh shucked oysters, but I'm sure you can use canned ones. I'll PM you the recipie.... with the added touch of a little regular, not cooking sherry... you'll make Paul Prudhomme, the Cajun dude, and Emeril look like hacks...LOL

yum
I forgot to bring it in to work with me... but that does sound similar, except for I use 100% heavy cream, and dry sherry
