Anything Geena can post......

............. I can post later. Not smart French mushrooms like hers, but they are home-grown. And very yummy, in a sauce with shallots, wine and crème frâiche.

The mouse is there to indicate that they were remarkably large mushrooms. Ro said "What's the point of that? It isn't even a real mouse." I explained. "Why didn't you at least use your Mac mouse then? Or your iPod?"

He's still being very cheeky.

Do you wash your mushrooms or just tap them?

I don't wash mushrooms unless they are really dirty field-grown ones. But I know someone who works in the local mushroom factory (as it's known!) and she strongly advises washing them. She hasn't said why........

Sometimes we get puffballs, but only if the weather is right, early morning dew but not rain or frost.

You can get dinky little mushroom brushes in upmarket kitchen paraphernalia shops.

Ro's too old to put across my knee or to tickle (which would be my preferred option). He's nearly a foot taller than me, for one thing.

It's my health that's at risk - who do you think would end up squirming on the floor?

Z said...

oh well, dung's all right - it's organic, innit?

Hah! They're nothing like my mushies..hah! But then - yours are way way way cleaner..mine were covered in green stuff and dirt. Gah.

Yours were fabulous. No competition. But I'm a humble soul who is glad of a simple field mushroon from a simple Norfolk field.
