Oyster Turkey Stuffing
Ingredients :
20 oysters, shucked, plus their liquor (See Cook’s Note)
3 cups coarsely crumbled cornbread, recipe follows
3 slices bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch strips
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 medium shallots, thinly sliced
2 celery stalks (with leaves), thinly sliced
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoon white dry vermouth
Cornbread for Stuffing:
1 cup stone-ground cornmeal
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1 large egg
1/2 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, plus more for the brushing the pan
Directions
Put the oysters in a strainer over a medium bowl to catch their liquor. Reserve 3/4 cup of the oyster liquor. In a large bowl, combine the crumbled cornbread and oysters.
Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Add the bacon and cook for 1 minute. Drain and pat dry with a paper towel.
Melt 1/2 cup of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the foaming subsides, add the bacon, shallot, celery, salt, and season with pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring, until soft, about 10 minutes. Add the parsley, thyme, reserved oyster liquor, and vermouth and bring to a boil. Transfer the shallot-herb mixture to the cornbread and oysters and stir to combine. Set aside for 10 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Transfer the cornbread mixture to a buttered 1-quart gratin dish, dot with the remaining butter, and bake until browned and crusty, about 1 hour.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
Cook’s Note: Try to find already shucked oysters in their liquor (juice) in small plastic tubs at your local supermarket or seafood monger.
Cornbread for Stuffing:
Butter a 3 1/4 x 5 3/4 x 2-inch loaf pan. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg and combine with the milk. Pour the milk mixture into the cornmeal mixture and mix lightly with a rubber spatula until a thick batter is formed. Stir in the melted butter until just incorporated.
Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool.
Yield: 1 small loaf of cornbread

The Indian Shores/Redington Beaches Holiday Boat Parade Committee has announced that the 2015 edition of the annual Holiday Boat Parade will be staged, weather permitting, on Sunday, December 20th, 2015, beginning at 6 PM. Participating boats are requested to rendezvous just north of the Tom Stuart (Madeira Beach) Causeway at approximately 5:45 PM, for the 6 PM start of the parade.
The parade is sponsored, jointly, by the towns of Indian Shores, Redington Beach, North Redington Beach, and Redington Shores. Each town provides initial financial support which is supplemented by private cash donations and prize merchandise donations from local businesses.
This year, the Committee hopes to increase the value of the prizes distributed to the winning boats. This year, the total prize value is expected to exceed $8,000, shared among the almost 30 boats entered.
The Parade route will following the Intra-Coastal Waterway starting just north of the Tom Stuart Causeway Bridge (Redington Beach) and finishing at The Pub restaurant in Indian Shores. It meanders into the creeks and canals that branch off the ICW, passing along the shoreline of each of the participating communities.
Come on down for this FREE event. Watch the Boat Parade illuminate the night sky on the Intracoastal Waterway. The boats should be passing the Indian Shores Municipal Center Pavilion around 7:30 pm – 8 pm.
It will be fun for the whole family. Come join us for this FREE community event. There will be hot chocolate, coffee and treats for the spectators to enjoy as they view the passing festival of lights. Watch the Intracoastal Waterway light up as the boat parade passes, wave to Santa or cheer for your favorite decorated boat. Come on down and join your neighbors and friends (or make some new ones). Come enjoy this wonderful holiday tradition.
The Captain’s meeting for participating boats will be held at the Town Hall of North Redington Beach, 190 173rd Avenue, North Redington Beach, on Thursday, December 17th, at 7 PM.
The awards ceremony will take place at The Pub Restaurant, following the arrival of the last boat parade participant. Again this year, Steve Westphal, owner of The Pub, has graciously extended an invitation to all participants to dock their boats overnight in the restaurant’s marina.
Major prizes, consisting of gifts and cash, are given to the top three boats in each category. The three judging categories are based on the lengths of the participating boats; typically, the categories break at approximately “under 25 feet,” “25 – 35 feet,” and “over 35 feet.” The Committee tries to put equal numbers of boats in each category.
Entry forms for the parade are available now at the Town Halls and Web sites of the participating towns. Entry forms will also be distributed to local marinas for boaters to pick up.
