Although many people think the origin of baked oysters is Drago’s or Acme Oyster House in New Orleans, the recipe was actually given to us by the Native Americans. The dish was made popular when Abraham Lincoln had his cook prepare the delicacy for his inauguration.

Chargrilled oysters became a New Orleans staple in 1993 when Tommy Cvitanovich, Drago’s second-generation restaurant manager, decided to experiment with a sauce of garlic, butter and herbs. He brushed it on a fresh batch of oysters, then dusted them with a blend of Parmesan and Romano cheese and cooked them in their shell on a hot grill. The results were incredibly delicious—and a legend was born!

Instructions:

Heat a gas or charcoal grill to high heat. Ideally, the grill should hit 500 F.
In a small saucepan, gently melt the butter. Mix the melted butter with the garlic, pepper, and oregano. Reserve in a small bowl.
Place the oysters on the half shell right over the hottest part of the grill. The oyster shouldn't be cut loose from the shell as they can slip and fall right through the grill.
Spoon enough of the seasoned butter over the oysters so that some of it will overflow into the fire and flame up a bit. The oysters are ready when they puff up and get curly on the sides, about 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan and Romano cheeses. Top the oysters with the cheese mix and parsley. Serve on the shells immediately.
Serve with slices of lemon and toasted French bread

Patience is a skill you learn throughout life. As babies, we have no patience and cry whenever we want or need something. Our parents come running to us immediately to soothe us and give whatever we need at that moment. We soon learn crying gives us instant gratification to our every want and need, then we become toddlers, and learning patience begins!

Change and patience go together. We all want the instant result from all our changes to be in our favor, when they aren’t, we get upset. Yes, some changes are instant, like turning on the AC to cool you off. Most changes take a little time to completely set in, this is where patience is required.
