Footloose! You won’t believe how dry and HOT it is over here. It is true what you read on the news…brown is the new green as they say!

ON THE UPSIDE…FIRE MORELS NEXT YEAR IS WHAT I AM EXCITED ABOUT! Provided steady rains then a few days of sunshine start coming soon, all is not lost.

MM…once mushroom season gets underway, will dehydrate more this year and send them to you! If I send you frozen partially cooked chanterelles, you have to use them as soon as you get them. Even the pine mushrooms, I prefer to partially cook them now and freeze them. But I will still dehydrate yours if you prefer them that way.

BettyQ, I think of you every time there’s a news flash of forest fires out West. I trust that you are not in anyway affected. But don’t those rare delicious wild mushrooms shoot out of the ashes left by fire?

Hello MM!

Have tons and I means TONS of tomatoes this year! Looking forward to making your oven roasted tomatoes from first harvest next month. Red pesto is something I always have on hand. I make mine with a few kalamata or those oil cured olives added and flavoured with basil and flat leaf parsley.

I add some small cubes of avocado when tossing the pasta with the red pesto and topped with crumbled feta or torn burrata. Yes, mga Mrs…MM is right! Please do try it!

It is tomato weather over here now, so the markets will be flooded with sun ripened tomatoes soon.

La Emp….Make a lot of MM ‘s oven roasted tomatoes and come winter, make red pesto pack in small jars, buy some pasta at Bosa, fresh mozzarella or burrata, pack in nice basket and give to Mrs. P as one of your Christmas presents to her! I know she likes making fast, quick, yummy, meals!
