Its been 3 months now that I've been in Bozeman, and our "mini-vaca" to San Fransisco last week couldn't have come at a better time. I couldn't wait to visit my bosom buddy Jonna and check out her new home. Besides great company and a fantastic city to enjoy, the culinary experience was also an amazing addition. We enjoyed unbelievable pastries from Tartine bakery, some great vegetarian India, and of course raw oysters! Not only are they ridiculously tasty, they are also a more sustainable choice as far as seafood goes. We found them at a farm not too farm from the city. Unlike Salmon or other carnivorous fish, oysters are filter feeders and don't require manufactured food or other sea creatures to survive. They don't create waste, and actually clean the water as they feed. Luckily we had a shucking expert with us, and tons of fresh lemon to squeeze on the little guys. Fabulous!

Happy Thanksgiving!
