Last day of the last month with an R for a while, so Oyster Brunch @ Rick's on the River.
But I have eaten oysters in Jurne ND Jurly.

Dang I’m old. They were $6 a bushel when I was a teenager!
I remember as a very young lad going out to Old Tampa Bay at low tide with my late uncle, each of us with a five gallon bucket. Filled both with oysters, then went back k to grandma’s house and shucked them. Oyster stew, fried, and a few were left for anyone wanting them raw. Pollution and yankees ended that memory from ever repeating.
Mother in law does it that way less the double boiler. Sinful.When I was a boy my little east Tennessee grandmother used to make banana pudding. From scratch. She cooked the pudding/custard in a double boiler with egg yolks, vanilla, sugar and milk. Then made a meringue from the egg whites and sugar. It was the best,. My youngest and my oldest son both love banana pudding. So for my daughter turning 16 today I got up and went at it. The custard would not thicken so it has a cornstarchy taste but it looks good. Now I gotta make one for Spencer next year, Took over 10 minutes to get the egg whites to peak.
Looks awesome and I imagine it tastes great! I made one similar for Easter lunch family get together. Similar recipe, though like @gardnerwebbgator mentioned, no double boiler. Never have a problem getting the pudding/custard to set, but there is cornstarch in the mixture at the beginning with the sugar. 1 TB cornstarch per egg yolk. I’ll always put a sprinkle of Cream of Tartar along with a TB of sugar with the whites for the meringue. No problems setting unless it is damp and humid, but it can be easy to overbeat. Got the recipe from my wife’s aunt. The pudding/ custard is also the base for chocolate and coconut meringue pies.
