FRIDAY, JUNE

y grilled oysters with green garlic butter dish looks as

green and springy as your backyard at this time of

year. You may be familiar with the flavors in this but-

ter from the classic French escargots a la bourguignonne. And,

if I was a betting woman, I’d be willing to bet that 90 percent

of folks who love snails love this dish because of the rich green

garlicky butter. That’s definitely my fascination with it. But this

butter isn’t just for escargots - it makes amazing grilled oysters

and the ultimate garlic bread.

If you are digging your own oysters, you may still want to

heed the no “R” months advice of not eating oysters during

the months of May through August, those months without an

“R” in the name. But if you are buying oysters from a fish store

or the grocery store, you can feel free to eat oysters all year

long as they are more than likely being commercially raised

and they are safe. In fact, my favorite time of year to eat grilled

oysters is spring and early summer.

I like to grill oysters on the half shell which makes for both a

pretty presentation and failsafe cooking. The tough shell pro-

tects the delicate oysters from the hot fire, tempering the heat

and transferring it through the shell. The oyster simmers in its

own juices mixed with the cooking liquid from a marinade,

sauce or compound butter. This is just the right temperature,

and will not result in overcooked, rubbery oysters unless you

leave them on the grill too long.



GRILLED OYSTERS WITH GREEN GARLIC BUTTER

Ingredients 

Servings: 4 appetizer-sized portions

Start to finish: 15 minutes

1 dozen shucked oysters

Green Garlicky Butter (see recipe below)

Hot Sauce for serving

Lemon wedges for serving



Preparation 

Prepare a gas or charcoal grill for medium direct heat. Line

a sheet pan with the bottom oyster shells from the shucked

oysters. Top each oyster with a generous spoonful of the oys-

ter liquor (liquid that the oysters are packed in) and the green

garlic butter.

Place oysters directly on the cooking grates. Cover the grill

and cook until butter is melted and liquid is bubbling, about 2-

3 minutes. You can tell if the oysters are cooked if they are

opaque and puffed up. The edges will also stand out slightly.

Transfer to a serving platter lined with kosher salt and serve

immediately with lemon wedges and favorite hot sauce, if

desired.

GREEN GARLIC BUTTER (a.k.a. ESCARGOT BUTTER)

INGREDIENTS

1 stick unsalted butter, softened at room temperature

2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

3 cloves of garlic, peeled and grated

1 small shallot, grated

1/2 teaspoon granulated or dehydrated garlic

2-4 teaspoons dry white wine, such as a French Burgundy

or French-style Chardonnay, depending on taste

1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or more to taste)

Preparation 

Mash or stir butter until it is smooth and slightly fluffy. Add

parsley, garlic, shallot and dehydrated garlic. Mix together,

mashing with the back of a fork to make sure all the ingredi-

ents are incorporated. Add wine and salt. Mix until smooth

and fully incorporated. Taste for seasoning. Add more salt if

needed. On a piece of parchment or plastic wrap, drop butter

in spoonsful to form a log. Roll butter in plastic wrap and

smooth out to form a round log about 11/2 inches in diame-

ter. Refrigerate until firm and easy to cut into pieces. Can be

made in advance and stored tightly covered in the refrigerator

for up to a week and in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Chef’s note: When I make this for the grilled oyster recipe

above, I drop generous and equal spoonsful of the soft butter

on a piece of parchment paper and place it in the freezer to

harden. This way, the butter is already portioned out for each

oyster. You can do this in advance and place the individual

butter patties in a re-sealable plastic bag in the freezer for up

to 2 weeks. — AP

In the workplace today, you perform successfully, as you

exhibit your ability to get past the surface of things and sep-

arate the thing that has real worth. Your presence in a group situation has a

decided effect. Others may feel that nothing is a secret from you. You do

not have to leave home to escape from the rat race. Family, home and

security seem just about ideal to you. You may be very imaginative with

your home and domestic setup. A sense of community and unity perme-

ates your family life. Your ideal dream is a private one and heaven is as

close as work and family. You are creative when it comes to partnerships or

lovers; you seem to establish unusual and different relationships. You may

find that a love relationship will deepen during this time.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This day is one of those amazing days when everything

works together. Situations are almost tailor-made and it is easy to see

which path is the one to take. Opportunities prevail and you may find your-

self deciding that it is time to write a book. You certainly have enough

material to write on any one of your favorite subjects. There may be some

question in your mind about needing a change in your position at work.

Check out the inner-office openings and you will be able to move into a

place that gives you some challenges. You may decide to do some special

cooking this evening, and if you have your windows open, you may find

some uninvited guests are willing to taste your experimental recipe.

Everybody has fun!



Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You are always interested in being of help to others. You

enjoy teaching or helping young people use their creative mind with their

use of words. Your sense of humor is not missing from your communica-

tions today. There are many practical ideas available to you, especially

related to your job or skills. Careful, a customer may tell you a sad story to

get a special deal. You appreciate, care and are concerned but not much

can fool you. This afternoon you may enjoy a community project. Perhaps

you and your family will help to contribute towards the beautification of

your neighborhood. If everyone participates, the value of property could

increase. You are constantly on the side of humanism at every turn.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You could be most persuasive with others and expressive in

speech and communication. You are a natural for self-expression and oth-

ers enjoy listening to your particular ideas and thoughts. The initiative is

yours and you will find positive end results develop from your enthusiasm

to achieve. This is a day to dare to be a little unconventional. You will pros-

per through new insights, inventions and an independent point of view.

Your career could open up by taking the road less traveled or by daring to

be more involved in the development of business: new approaches. You

are inspired to motivate others with your creative and inventive ways.

What-if types of questions seem to be the keys that turn you into the wiz-

ard all enjoy having on their side.



Cancer (June 21-July 22

)

You may find yourself having a difference of opinion with



others today. This, however, is the only way to introduce new ways of

thinking among your particular business comrades. Make it a point to

remove the emotions, and if you find others getting emotional, excuse

yourself from the conversation. There will be other opportunities to expand

upon some new idea. Given time, your ideas will gain recognition. Real

insight into your own inner workings could surface now and in a manage-

able form. You may be in the mood for penetrating conversation this

evening. Perhaps a book or magazine on the latest electronic techniques

would be mesmerizing. A friend you have not heard from in some time

may give you a call. Old times are fun to review.



Leo (July 23-August 22)

Throwing caution to the wind, you could ignore whatever

responsibilities you have and pursue a particular objective today. You have

animal-like instincts when it comes to big business and this is a good time

to use those instincts. You are where the action is most intense. Your mind

will get through the unimportant and straight to the bottom line. Some

may even respect your tenacity and it is exciting to be near you. You may

tend to take paths at right angles to your real ambitions if you let yourself

become distracted. If you have a co-worker friend that will join you in a pro-

ject, you can keep each other focused; talk about staying focused before

you begin. This afternoon you may enjoy some creative activity with some

form of art, theater, sports, etc.



Virgo (August 23-September 22)

This is a very lucky day for making plans or decisions and

finding your way through just about any problem you may uncover. You

will be feeling successful and able to cope with whatever comes across

your path. Good advice from a guide may be forthcoming. You are very

fortunate in being able to grow and progress throughout your life with-

out major difficulties. You can always find the resources you require at

hand plus the necessary instruction in how to use them. Your love of job

and practical skills makes you a fine manager and businessperson. You

bring passion to your work. Your mind is full of practical ideas, especially

related to your job or skills. You are always coming up with new ideas;

this is a productive day.



Libra (September 23-October 22)

A rebellious streak could affect your career now-careful.

Your sense of independence may tend to kick over the apple cart and

upset everything. Your progress and success may be at the expense of

your more unconventional tendencies-a source of struggle. You prefer a

career that accents your own devotion to the dreams and ideals you stand

for these days. Working with groups in a spirit of cooperation is a natural.

Everything conspires to value and to bring out your unique and unusual

qualities. You may find that someone close to you understands and is sup-

portive of your eccentricities. You could come up with new solutions.

There is an opportunity this evening to understand a difficult person; you

listen and love.



Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

You would like to tell someone off at work today but you will

benefit from just moving your thoughts to another place . . . Perhaps the

next adventure you will take with the money you earn. You are at your

most practical when it comes to working with others and your efforts today

do not go unnoticed. You usually know just what to do. You may be moved

to appreciate the beauty in your life and those around you. A sense of

humor is one of the necessary ingredients to make a tough situation easier

to handle. Be careful that you do not overspend or indulge too much just

now. You may feel like involving yourself in some sort of celebration this

evening-a celebration of life. There are new insights regarding home life.

A rebellious streak could affect your career now-careful.

Your sense of independence may tend to kick over the apple cart and

upset everything. Your progress and success may be at the expense of

your more unconventional tendencies-a source of struggle. You prefer a

career that accents your own devotion to the dreams and ideals you

stand for these days. Working with groups in a spirit of cooperation is a

natural. Everything conspires to value and to bring out your unique and

unusual qualities. You may find that someone close to you understands

and is supportive of your eccentricities. You could come up with new

solutions. There is an opportunity this evening to understand a difficult

person; you listen and love.



Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)

Someone may criticize you today and find you somewhat

preoccupied and lacking in the social graces. This is only a temporary glitch

in your day. You have an innate love of the law and working things

through, and you are not put off by any difficulties. On the contrary, you

may look forward to hunting problems down so that you can solve them.

You have the ability to work with others, particularly regarding vocation or

career guidance. You can advise and guide others in all sorts of subjects,

and you may find yourself doing so today. This could be a particularly lucky

day. Study the options carefully before making any investment decisions.

Tonight is a good night for you to take your turn at cooking. 

Pisces (February 19-March 20)

There is an emphasis on communication, expression of

ideas and the connections between things, places and people. What goes

on in your mind is the all-important motivation in your life. You tend

towards mental pursuits and admire intelligence. You are very flexible and

other-oriented today. Perhaps you can be all things to all people, giving

them what they require. You are probably a smooth talker with a quick wit

and ready tongue. You know and understand more than you let on and life

changes seldom take you by surprise. You have a great deal of control over

your actions. Communicating and getting your message across to others is

at a high just now. You know just how to maneuver yourself into the right

places; now is the time to get ahead.
