Yummy Chanterelles Courtesy of Mols

Molly gave me a bunch of mushrooms that she had hunted last weekend and Aleta and I made a feast out of them. We sauteed onion lots of garlic and chicken then added the shrooms and a little butter. Then we added some beautiful chard and let it cook down a tad. We served it all over red Quinoa (the kind rach and mols went crazy over last week) topped with fresh parmesean. This was the perfect simple fall meal, although it felt extravagant because it was so colorful and beautiful. This picture from Leat's phone really does not do it justice...I gotta find my camera!

Weird Veggies Trifecta

Here's my final installment for the bizarre vegetable series. Now, with the inclement weather arriving, it's time to head indoors and cook up all the pumpkin and butternut squash from this season (heaps of them this year). Happy Fall!


Though not weird, this is pretty much my last harvest from the garden. It's always kind of bittersweet... just like the kale this time of year.


The stuff nightmares are made of...


Sometimes it is best to let the picture speak for itself.


I didn't think it was possible to be hypnotized by a watermelon, until today.
*note: I carved nothing into this thing. Anyone know what causes this?
