Mushroom Pie
First you head out to the woods and gather a chicken mushroom (Polyporaceae Aphyllophorale). Paul came home with about 8 pounds.
After cleaning (also Paul's job), the mushrooms get sautéed and put into a baking dish. I also add rehydrated dried Black Trumpet Mushrooms. A sauce of thickened cream and Madeira is poured over them; a flaky pie crust goes on the top and the whole is baked for 30 minutes. Add a salad and it serves 6 to 8 people. Add some white wine and I'll join you.

The pie can be made with other kinds of mushrooms. I like Oyster Mushrooms or edible Boletus. The recipe is in the Gourmet Cook Book, Vol. II. The dried Black Trumpets I buy from Mack Hill Farm. If they haven't any listed for sale, contact them because I know they have been out in the woods picking.

Lobsters Are... Pink???
I saw this lobster in the live lobster tank at a local supermarket. He was moving around so I knew I wasn't looking at an ex-lobster ghost. Didn't know they came this color.

Ontario Journal - Niagara-on-the-Lake
After a few days in Buffalo, NY, we darted back across the border to Canada to window shop. The question is... pastries or fruit? Or one of each?

Food Because Eating is Habit Forming
Some recent favorites at our house. The first is straight from the store: baked ricotta cheese with lemon and sugar. Very yummy and makes a great dessert.
Cobb salad, my current favorite, as made by my husband, who has taken over salad making around here and become quite the expert at it..
Sopa de Peña is my name for a Mexican style soup for which my friend Susan Peña gave me her basic recipe. It's the type of soup that can have just about anything added to it and it tastes good.

Gingerbread Bundt Cake
A gingerbread cake baked in the cottage shaped bundt cake pan my brother and sister-in-law gave me for Christmas. It's big enough for 12 nice sized slices. I'm not the world's best cake decorator but the good part is, if the decoration is a disaster, one just eats the evidence.
