Perdido Key, Florida

Our friends Carl and Jane Pierce are fun people. Their home-on-the-road in Florida is Playa del Rio RV Park and Yacht Club on the barrier island of Perdido Key. The RV park is small and intimate. The white sands of the Gulf of Mexico beckon during the day and the cabana on the Old River becomes the gathering place at sunset.

Carl and Jane invited us to join them at Happy Hour at the Playa del Rio cabana. Always going the extra mile, they turned Happy Hour not only into a book signing by The Cooking Ladies but a feast of fresh Apalachicola Oysters. We signed books and made new friends while Carl shucked the oysters. Out came the cocktail sauce, lemon wedges and soda crackers. As an additional treat, Jane sprinkled some of the oysters with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese and Carl grilled them, on the shell, on the barbecue.




With us, it's all about the food!!!!

Jane is my sis and when we visited them in October this year, Carl made us shrimp and grits. Wonderful! I keep telling him he missed his calling. He could be a chef in any restuarant anywhere.They're on the way to Arkansas at this time,so if you're in the Little Rock area,give them a call. Kay
