I adore Nadia G - don't you? Or .... OYSTERS G_FELLER comin' up!



Ok look, people.  If you're not watching Nadia G ("Bitchin' Kitchen" on the Cooking Channel) you're missing out on one of life's primo experiences.  Yeah.

You just can't beat the "Breakup Bonanza" episode.  Here's a taste:  "In this episode we learn how to successfully sever a relationship with a dinner custom-made for dumping. Your soon-to-be-ex is going to get served... a sweet fig & pesto salad with an aged-balsamic reduction; a juicy Hawaiian burger with spicy chipotle mayo; and tender peanut-butter-banana fritters."


Did I mention that with every episode you also get free relationship advice?  Yeah.  Take it.

Ok, here's what made me want to clue you in today:  the recipe for Oysters G-Feller.  YUMMERS.  Are you ready for this?  It's heaven on the half shell.  Here it is, enjoy:
