Beautiful Mel these are by far your best photos ever and your assistant has served you well, full of goodness ;o)) So what did I do today but finish off the last of a lovely mushroom gravy that I slathered on mashed potatoes for a couple of three times and this last bit of leftovers went into a pot with equal water and then a shovelful of our home grown organic Jasmine rice all in the rice cooker and it made a lovely way to finish off those delicious shiitakes. Now if that ain't something that makes you want to be going down the road and feeling bad I don't know what would. I'm heading south in less than a week and they have some lovely magic mushrooms down there that I'm sure want to make my acquaintance.

The last time I indulged down there this mountain wanted to speak to me as you can see his eyes and mouth and droopy nose as it turned into quite a gargoyle looking giant at near midnight during a full moon as I floated in the Andaman Sea...... quite friendly too! ;o))

ps but of course I guess I have to say that one of my favorite memories was going out with my Nonie to the mountains of Portola Valley to pick wild mushrooms when I was a very young kid.
