| ¼ | cup | BUTTER |
| ½ | cup | Sliced celery |

Directions
In a large saucepan, saute the celery, onion, and garlic in the butter, for about 5 minutes. Stir in the drained oysters, the milk, the cream, the salt and pepper - heat just until small bubbles appear around the ediges (DO NOT ALLOW TO BOIL, OR IT WILL SEPARATE). Stir in a bit of parsley (really just for color - don't add too much!) and sherry. Serve immediately.
