Spring is in the Air


I saw three robins today, and the air is starting to smell like spring, which happens to be a great time of the year for growing mushrooms.

Ralph's sister is recovering very well from her accident, so I should have time to start posting here again. In the meanwhile, enjoy this quick but tasty mushroom idea: The next time you are cooking rice, saute half a sweet onion, some garlic (optional) and a few handfuls of sliced mushrooms (I like to mix shiitakes and blue oysters for this) in a tablespoon or two of canola or olive oil. When the rice is cooked, stir in the cooked mushroom mix and enjoy! It's one of Ralph's many favourite ways to have mushrooms.

More to come soon...
