  you really love oysters) - reserve liquid

*Lightly sauté onions and celery together in butter, just enough to melt butter plus an extra minute or two
 
*In very large bowl, alternately toss bread, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper together with a large spoon, coating bread evenly.

*Add onion /celery mixture and oysters to above, sprinkling with liquid reserved from can of oysters, mixing all evenly.  

*The original recipe calls to moisten additionally with water, but Jean uses a little chicken broth for extra moisture and taste in place of the water.
