Morels for Breakfast
Between the drought and fierce competition, I have not found many morels this season. But this morning I did have three mushrooms and about as many stalks of asparagus. I scalded the morels in water while I chopped and fried some bacon. When the bacon was...

Because I Can
When I was a child I couldn't wait to be a grown-up, when I could do whatever I wanted to. I could have cake and ice-cream for breakfast!
