Maiden Mushroom Hunt


First day of winter vacation- G&L took us foraging in Olema and Pt Reyes. Our golden prize- chanterelles hiding under live oak groves. C did not find any, but yours truly chanced upon two specimens- plump for the taking. Consolation prize- oyster mushrooms to be had everywhere- so plentiful that I took very little of what was available.

I'd been in a food funk lately as grocery stores haven't been doing it for me lately. Luckily last week, C caught a rock crab off the coast. My parole officer at work brought me beautiful big bag of lemons. I squeezed lemons all night and then decided against making lemon curd. Instead I baked a persimmon pudding which only I myself enjoyed as C was fast a sleep snoozing by the fire.
