Shroomin'

Farm visit today just made me appreciate how interesting and unique and awesome OUR farm is. That's what traveling is supposed to do! We could do this if I didn't have to clean first. Anyway we foraged for mushrooms that were everywhere. We got to see the farm's old stone corrals (you can see them on the map) for holding sheep (no sheep or goats or cattle or pigs... just an old swaybacked horse that everyone went gaga over. Ha.) The farmwife taught us how to make pasta, which we shaped over skewers. They had a field planted in lettice, which we picked. (These slickers stepped all over the plants.). The mushrooms were grilled over a kitchen fire. I mean an open fireplace in the kitchen. I want one. We ate the pasta we made. We also made cookies that were finished by dipping them in white wine and sugar. Actually delicious!Read more
