This past weekend was the last one for the Summer of 2019. I enjoyed a great time with my beloved and some friends. and even made a few new ones. From faerie rings of delicious Slippery Jacks (we played it safe and didn’t try them!), to playful farm dogs and little water creepy crawlers, we had a blast. Great company by the fire and surrounded by horses during the day.
Can’t wait for our next trip!
A couple of days ago I found a great surprise in my back yard, morels! Although only a small crop of 2 specimens, its was as nice break from the constant rain and near flooding of the last few days.
After bringing them inside and giving them a quick pat dry I went to task to make a positive ID on my new found mycological gastronomical find!
After confirming that indeed I had found some tasty tasty morels, prep began.
I cut them in halves and washed them in some cold water and a bit of salt to get rid of any lingering visitors and dirt, then I pat dried them to get them ready for the main event.
The morels were sautéed in salted butter to bring out the meaty nutty flavour they are famous for.
The final result was nothing short of amazing. The warm sautéed morels melted in the mouth with delightfully meaty, buttery and nutty flavours. Definitely prime evidence for their choice status among mushrooms lovers.
The apparently edible Indigo Milky, does not look as appetizing as the literature suggests...
