We're still missing Gypsy like crazy (we looked at her puppy photos last night, which, of course, brought on the waterworks), but it's time to post something new. I created the images below on Thanksgiving and meant to post them the next day. More important stuff must have come up. Anyway, the subject in the first image below inspired a mini project for me that day. Those are Bluefoot mushrooms, which were selling at Whole Foods for.....(drumroll please)......$35.00 per pound! Now, before you question my judgment, don't forget that mushrooms are very light and airy and it takes a huge volume of them to make a whole pound. I think I spent about $2 on a handful of them, and I did toss them into my yummy mushroom gravy (thank you Dad for teaching me the art of gravy-making). They have a woody, earthy flavor that matches their appearance. Aren't they so pretty? Following them are sugar pie pumpkins, Cipollini onions, some kind of Rosé wine and homemade cranberry jelly. Just a sampling of our Thanksgiving feast this year....
