I've written about this wonderful dish before so won't do that again - however I will share some photos from this version. I did some things right (more parsley than ever before and it was wonderful) and some things wrong (didn't crisp the bacon enough before adding the oysters) but the result - as always - was wonderful.
Applewood smoked bacon with shitake mushrooms...
A bit later, the oysters go in (probably too soon - should have crisped the bacon a bit more) and perhaps a bit too wet: next time I'll drain the oysters better.
And the finished result after very slowly cooking the eggs on and off the heat as Bittman suggests. Yum!
Next opportunity for the Hangtown will probably be New Years Day - let's see if I remember the lessons learned.
