--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2 1/2  cups          top milk -- * see note
   2      tablespoons   crackers -- finely crushed
   2      tablespoons   butter
     3/4  teaspoon      salt
   1      dash          pepper
   1      pint          oysters
                        parsley
                        green onion

* top milk I think if I remember my teen years was the cream that rose
to the top of the milk before milk was homogenized.

Heat the milk and crumbs in a double boiler.  Add the juice from the
oysters, the seasoning and the butter.  When the milk is hot and the
butter melted, add the oysters.  Cook until the oysters are plump and
the edges begin to curl.  Serve at one.  Sprinkle chopped chives or
green onions and parsley.
