Michael's 2010 Birthday Festivities - day one


There will be at least seven events in the celebrating of this significant birthday but it all started with a walk in the park. Well, one of our local walking spots, a field called Bel Ombre Meadow. Michael had the first treat of this new year - discovering where the edible mushrooms grow. He is always hunting for them on walks and normally finds none or old, unappetizing ones. Today was different. I donated my sweater for the collection of these 'shrooms which Michael found under some poplar trees and pine trees. He calls them boletus or poplar cepe, which his mom called butterpils and pappelpils. We sliced and dried some of them and they are waiting to be added to the next Mushroom Risotto.
