     1/4   c            Unbleached white flour
     1/4   c            Oil
   4                    Shallots -- finely chopped
   2                    Celery ribs -- finely chopped
   1 1/2   lb           Fresh mushrooms -- cleaned and
                        - chopped
  24                    Fresh, shucked oysters
     1/2   c            Oyster liquor -- from jar
   1       cl           Garlic -- finely chopped
   1       ts           Fresh parsley -- chopped
     1/2   ts           Black pepper
     1/2   ts           Salt
   1       lb           Chips or crackers

  In a large, heavy skillet, make a roux by heating flour and oil
  over a medium flame. Mix thoroughly and stir constantly. Mixture
  should bubble slowly. Let cook a few minutes until light brown. Add
  shallots and celery. Cook on a medium flame for about 10 minutes or
  until celery is soft. Add mushrooms, oysters, oyster liquor, and
  garlic. Cook slowly, uncovered, until mushrooms become tender and
  sauce thickens, about 15 to 20 minutes. Add parsley, pepper, and
  salt. Stir well. Serve hot with crackers, chips, or raw vegetables.
