Who is my biggest inspiration? Wow... I really, without wanting to sound 'aw gee shucks,' I'd have to say my wife who taught a rather uptight Englishman what there is to be got out of life.

A quick trip online will yield any number of videos and slide shows with step-by-step instructions on how to shuck an oyster.
