Oysters Alison

This basic recipe can be multiplied as many times as 
you have money and appetite for.

1  stick  butter (¼ lb)
   dash   Worcestershire sauce
1  stack  regular saltines
1  pint   shucked oysters with liquid
4  oz     whipping cream

Melt butter.  Stir in Worcestershire sauce.  Crush 
saltines (I just use my hands on 8-10 at a time) while 
butter is melting.  Mix melted butter thoroughly into 
saltines.  This much can be done ahead and sit around 
until you're ready to cook or go with you to make 
elsewhere.  Mix in the oysters and pat the mixture into 
the baking dish.  Gently pour the whipping cream over 
the top.  Bake about 15-20 minutes (until bubbling) at 
about 425 in a shallow glass baking dish of a size such 
that the oyster mixture is about 1½-2 inches thick.  
Brown under the broiler (if you're pretty sure you won't 
just forget it and burn it all up).  Leftovers can be 
microwaved very successfully.
