of bread and mushrooms and salad greens

my salad garden...


here it is a week later, and this photo is a week old already.

and the cup fungi are blowing my mind...they are everywhere in my yard

can you believe alot of these mushroom types are edible?! But most sources say, don't bother. This must be what comes in those mysterious cellophane packages at asian markets labeled "Fungus". I actually like that stuff in hot and sour soup.


But the real gem, although i am still awaiting the neighborhood mycophile, Sam, to give his blessings before we eat it, are morels found growing in our very backyard. We also found a few chanterelles on the hill behind us, not enough to actually cook something though.

where does the bread come in? Tomorrow I have the extreme pleasure of chaperoning 20 second graders to the Franco-American Bakery. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for Able Baker Charlie.
