me and my man friend went out to a secret wooded area and gathered half a grocery sack full of nice big fat healthy looking morel mushrooms today.

i took them home

i trimmed them and sliced them in half

i soaked them in salt water

i dipped them in egg and dredged them in seasoned flour

i fryed them in way too much butter

and they were ridiculously good.

goddamn, if you have a chance to try fresh morels prepared this way, please do.

i want to I WANT TO.
sparkleluluuuuu.
i want to eat garlic stuffed mushrooms too.
mmmmm.

find me some!

everywhere round here seems to be pretend woodland - a few scattered trees round the edge of boring grassland parks. I miss my home.

no one else in the midwest goes out and gets their own?

the treacherous gathering experience and the short growing season make them taste even better. i came home bleeding in two places and had twigs in my hair.

tonight i will make chicken and fettucine with mushroom cream alfredo type sauce, but the fried in butter is absolute best.

SS: what is garlic stuffed?, for some reason that sounds like a martini garnish. like an olive with an almond.

you can find chanterelles up here where i live they're heavenly simply sautee'd with butter on pasta.....
