Cottage Horticulture - 'Shrooms

Picture 254

Mushrooms are what we gather these cold winter day in our climate. Here's our papa with some yummy ones. Our favorite mushrooming guide is "All the Rain Promises and More" We usually dry ours out and use them all year in soups and stir frys. We do eat some fresh.

Here's one of Seth's favorite mushroom dishes:

3 large potatoes, chopped
1/2 olive oil or melted butter
one cup diced mushrooms
salt and pepper to taste

Toss everything in a bowl and toss throughly. Place in a skillet on medium heat, stir every 2-3 minutes until potatoes are tender, serve warm. Yum! I love it when my man cooks!
