"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Personal Notes:
I like to serve this with this Brown Sugar Sauce instead of the rum glaze:
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Cook several minutes, stirring constantly. Add a splash of vanilla. Serve warm sauce over bread pudding.
