We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

We need to discover all over again that worship is natural to the Christian, as it was to the godly Israelites who wrote the psalms, and that the habit of celebrating the greatness and graciousness of God yields an endless flow of thankfulness, joy, and zeal.

INGREDIENTS

24 Raw oysters – in shell
1 1/2 T Unsalted butter
1 1/2 T Flour
1/2 c Oyster juice – from above
1/2 c Champagne – or other dry
sparkling wine
1/4 t Celery seed – ground
Freshly ground white pepper
2 c Rock salt – or coarse salt
for the broiler pan

INSTRUCTIONS

cups rock salt - or coarse salt for the broiler pan  DIRECTIONS
PREPARATION: Open the oysters as instructed in previous recipe
("Opening Oysters in the Microwave"). Measure 1/2 cup of the strained
cooking liquid and reserve.  CHAMPAGNE SAUCE: Melt the butter in a
1-quart glass or ceramic  measure or bowl, uncovered, on high for 2
minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup  reserved oyster juices and Champagne and
cook, uncovered, on high,  stirring twice during cooking, for 4 minutes
or until thickened.  Recipe can be made to this point a few hours
ahead.  COOKING AND SERVING: Heat the broiler with rack set at its
highest  level. Stir celery seed and white pepper to taste into the
sauce.  Spread 2 cups of coarse or rock salt in the bottom of a broiler
pan  to steady oysters. Nestle reserved shells into salt.  Put each
oyster  in a shell and thoroughly coat the tops with sauce. Put under
preheated broiler until just golden, about 2 minutes.  Makes 4
first-course servings.  NOTE:  This is a simple and elegant classic.
You can prepare the  oysters and sauce ahead in the microwave, and then
broil for a minute  or two just before serving. The obvious wine to
serve is Champagne.  If you choose another dry sparkling wine to drink
instead, use the  same one in the sauce.  Recipe from Barbara Kafka,
