I'm In The Oyster Shucking Mood!

I'm getting really excited for next week.

It's my husband's birthday and I'm also throwing my very first oyster tasting party!

"Shuck the Halls" Oyster & Champagne Tasting Party 2012

McKinney Mommas has some fabulous companies participating in helping us throw this exciting event our family and friends this holiday season.

I want to give a pre-party shout-out to:

• Harbor Island Oyster Co. has a gorgeous selection of oyster related gifts. Personalized oyster shucking knives, oyster lover gift sets (for your favorite married couple) and more!

• You can still order from them in time for Christmas Gifts, if you place your order by December 19.

• Alaska's Kachemak Bay Oysters can be shipped right to your door. Picked out of the pristine cold waters of Alaska's Kachemak Bay. 

•  I can't wait to taste these briny little babies! Rowan Jacobsen of The Oyster Guide describes the growing environment as: "grown in floating lantern nets surrounded by glaciers and whales on the tip of Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula."

• If it's East Coast Oysters you crave, Island Creek Oysters, grown in the bay of Duxbury, Mass might be for you.

• Order by December 22nd before 10am for delivery straight your doorstep by Christmas Eve!

• If you live in the Boston area, check out their restaurant - Island Creek Oyster Bar on Commonwealth Ave.

Keep your eye out for a post documenting all the Oyster-lovin' and holiday fun we'll be having at our "Shuck the Halls" Oyster and Champagne Tasting Party!
