Easy Oysters Rockefeller
Despite what you've heard, oysters are always in season. As long as you're slurping oysters that come from healthy waters (like the ones from Tomales Bay), and they've been properly refrigerated, you can shuck from...
Step 1: Cut out the stem of the pumpkin in a hexagonal shape, with a slight tilt to the knife (you don't want the top to fall in). Cut an opening large enough to fit your hand.
Step 2: Remove all of the pumpkin innards. Be diligent! The more seeds and insides you take out, the less floaties you'll have in your beer!
Step 3: Carve a hole for your spigot* on the lower half of the pumpkin. The hole should be slightly smaller than the spigot diameter. Shove the spigot in the hole with as little adjusting as possible. Should be nice and tight. (*We used a spigot from an old punch dispenser. Waste not, want not.)
Step 4: Pick your poison (or your favorite adult beverage) and fill up your pumpkin keg. "Tap" your keg and cheers to your ingenuity. Happy Halloween, kids!
