Fried OystersThe guys will gobble these Fried Oysters up before they even realize what they ate! Try them out as an appetizer on the buffet at your Indianapolis party.
1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups milk
1/4 cup melted bacon fat or butter
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups peanut oil, for deep-frying
36 freshly shucked oysters
Lemon wedges, as accompaniment
In a medium bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, eggs, milk, bacon fat, baking powder and salt. Stir until the batter is smooth.
In a large saucepan or deep-fryer, heat the oil to 375F. Dredge each oyster in the cornmeal batter and fry in batches until golden brown, about 1 minute. Remove the oysters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve with lemon wedges
I'm quite fond of Oysters in a stuffing, so I gave this recipe a try and found that Fried Oysters are even better.

Indianapolis 500 Party Supplies with a Theme Party
An Indianapolis 500 Party could be held as a pre-race event or a great ZOOM theme for someone's birthday or other event. Design the party with Indianapolis 500 party supplies for a cool atmosphere themed. As racing will be the theme, decorate the house with lots of racing paraphernalia, checkered flags, toy cars, pictures of race car drivers, race cars, etc. This party theme would lend itself to Black and White so you could carry this throughout with plates, knives, forks and of course, checkered table cloth. Watching the Indianapolis 500 would be an excellent activity for this party. You could also have races where you divide the guests into teams. You could have a 3 legged, race, a piggyback race, a wheel barrel race etc. Give simulated trophies to the winners. Add some ideas like Gymnastics Recipe for more awesome celebration. This party would lend itself to a Buckets of Chicken with all the trimmings: coleslaw, potato salad, rolls, and mashed potatoes with gravy. For the snacky foods serve: chips and salsa, and dips, cheese and crackers, nuts etc. These could be served in toolboxes as an extra kick to the overall theme. Line the boxes with black and white cloth napkins. Secure napkins with car clamps for an added touch. To finish this fun party serve a delicious Oval Race Car Cake with tiny candy race cars on it.
