Mushroom memories

Mushroom season is here.

Although I won't be hunting morels this year, I am indulging myself in mushroom memories.

You won't be surprised that these memories involve Mimi,

who delighted in this seasonal treat.

The mushroom was wonderful 

 but the hunt, out in the spring woods at the farm,

seeking out those hidden sites

 and finding the well-hidden treasures

ah - that was a triumph!

All the more fun with a Mimi picnic on the farmhouse porch afterwards.

Oh Mimi, I miss you in Mushroom Season!

A Spring Treat

Somewhere out in the woods at the end of April mushrooms poke up through the leaves. Not just any mushroom - these are the delicious morels. Where do we find them? Sorry, can't tell - it's super secret.
It helps to take along hunters with keen eyes and a hood to carry the bounty in.
Then it's just a matter of soaking the sliced morels in salt water to get rid of all the various bugs who also love to eat mushrooms.

Fry them up in a little butter and...
YUM! It's a real Spring treat!
