Adam's new thing is mushrooms, thanks to a great xmas gift from my sister, a big book all about mushrooms. Adam should have been a biologist. As soon as he finds a passion: gardening, composting, and now mushrooms, he reads and learns as much as he can. He retains so much info it is crazy. Smartest person I know.
These mushrooms are a delicacy, they go for aroudn 15-20 bucks a pound at stores. A few weeks back when Adam first came home with some after hiking with Charlie I went to New Leaf and picked up one small chanterelle mushroom, just so we could compare. One little mushroom cost me $1.08, so something like this:
would be over 30 bucks
First we made a delicious shitake, chanterelle, goat cheese and chive pizza. This dough is the best dough I have ever made, and this pizza was so easy and yummy we have made it twice in two weeks. The kids loved it too.
Then Adam came home with another harvest and he, yes you read that right, HE made a delicious cream or chanterelle soup. We all ate it right up. We are lucky to have kids that love healthy, hearty food. This is a picture of the kids enjoying a staple in our home: mushroom-barley soup. Actually when it was time for dinner Charlie said, "I mell barley youp." This time we used the small brown mushrooms as well as a huge amount of chanterelles. Chanterelles pick up the flavors they are cooked with and have a "meaty" texture. Yum
