OYSTER LOAVES
6 servings

3 dozen fresh oysters
3 small loaves French bread
1/2 tsp garlic powder
4 Tbs melted butter
milk

First, almost split the loaves lengthwise, leaving a hinge.  Scoop
out the soft middles and save the crumbs.  Then add a half teaspoon
of garlic powder (no salt) to two tablespoons of melted butter,
and brush the cavities.

Next, drain the oysters and save the liquor.  Saute them in the
other two tablespoons of butter till the edges curl -- about five
minutes.

Put the oysters into the loaves, mix the crumbs you saved with the
oyser liquor you saved, and add them, too.  Shut up the loaves and
wrap them in cheesecloth dipped in milk, twisting the ends and
tucking them under the loaves.  Bake them on a baking sheet for
half an hour at 350.  Cut them in half before you serve them."
