2 pints oysters (reserve liquor), chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

In a heavy saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.  Add the
onion, celery, green onion, garlic and parsley and saute until limp
and translucent.  Add the oysters and cook until the oysters are

In another saucepan, make a thick White Sauce.  Add the White Sauce
