Organic Mushrooms and Stock make Soup

Simmering.....

26,731 days on  the planet....


We went to the local farmers market and purchased fresh mushrooms. These included Maitake mushrooms. "These have been shown to suppress the growth of breast cancer cells."

I purchased with the express intent to make a wonderful soup based upon mushrooms, chicken stock and spices......The weather cooperated because it was a we, cool day.

I sauteed the mushrooms in a little olive oil in a cast iron skillet. I did it in two groups. I transferred to a copper core AllClad skillet when they were sufficiently cooked, just for temporary holding. I'll tell you, when I pulled the lid off the odor was absolutely heavenly.  While this was going on I was simmering the chicken stock with a little curled parsley added.

Once the mushrooms were done I added them to the stock and continued to simmer for a few minutes longer.....After cooling we transferred to a container for the refrigerator to age for a few days....

We'll eat the soup "as is" but we'll also make a batch with cream.......

Meatloaf made by G

Crispy, just the way we like it

Day 26,729 on the planet...The title of this blog was inspired by spoiled friends and relatives who live a really wonderful life but are constant whiners and complainers and who expect others to come to their rescue every time they f@ck up....

G and I are both the oldest children in our respective families, so we were trained by our parents to care for the youngers.  Then the parents wore out. The younger children did dumb things and continue to do so to this very day, even at the age of 50 or older.

G and I "fight" over who is going to do the dishes, etc.  Meanwhile the younger siblings do their best to avoid any responsibility, including raising their children.  Hmmm, who has the better life? My complaint is the do nothings expect others to bail them out...including us. It won't happen by me.

Today, G made meatloaf using a three meat blend......We have a friendly competition about whose cooking is better....LOL
