From the July 2006 issue:
Noeline Fife’s “never fail” oyster soup:
Make a roux sauce or however you make a
white sauce. Place oysters and their liquid
in a separate saucepan. Have the roux base
boiling and then bring the oysters just to a
boiling point, add to soup and serve.

From the July 2006 issue:
In honour of this month’s Oban Globetrotter
article about Savannah, Georgia
(and because I notice that Ship to Shore
stocks buttermilk from time to time).
“Down-home” buttermilk fried chicken:
Cut four boneless skinless chicken breasts
into finger-size strips and place in bowl.
Pour enough buttermilk over to cover
them, then add generous amounts of
crushed garlic, a few dashes of Worcester
sauce, a sprinkle of Cajun spice (or dash of
Tabasco). Marinate for at least two hours
or overnight, stirring occasionally. Heat a
cm deep of oil in skillet until smoking hot.
Mix a couple cups of flour with two teaspoons
of baking powder. Dip chicken
pieces in flour then add to pan and turn
heat down a bit. Brown until crispy, each
side about 4-5 minutes. Place on paper
towel or newspaper to drain oil. Eat.
(Dipped in mayonnaise if you want to be
really piggy.)

From the November 2007 issue:
Sue Ford came across this recipe in an old cookery book:
Preserved Husband
Be careful in your selection of product. Do not choose too young or
immature. When selected, give your entire thought to preparation for
domestic use. Some insist on keeping them in a pickle, others are constantly
getting them into hot water. This may make them sour and sometimes bitter.
Even poor varieties may be made sweet and tender by garnishing with
patience, well-sweetened with love and seasoned with kisses. Store
well-wrapped in charity. Keep warm over a steady heat of devotion. Thus
prepared, they will keep for years.
