Surf and turf have never been so close. Crispy bacon strips wrapped around smoked oysters make a crazy good party appetizer. Serve with a Dijon aioli if you're feeling adventurous.

1/2 pound sliced bacon
2 cans (3 ounce size) smoked oysters
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons minced garlic
Cut each slice of bacon into thirds.
Wrap one section of bacon around each oyster and secure it with a toothpick.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
Add the bacon-wrapped oysters to the skillet. Cook, turning the oysters frequently, until the bacon is crisp on all sides. Transfer the oysters to paper toweling to drain.
Serve hot.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
