mushy mushrooms

Why does it always seem like I'm catching up with my grocery shopping? I never seem to use things until they're just barely hanging on as food and not garbage. This is quite a problem.

So, they weren't really mushy, but another couple of days and they would have been in the trash. Blue cheese only accentuated the funkyness of the mushrooms.

farmer's market salad

We met up with some friends at the Hollywood farmer's market this weekend and I splurged on some chanterelle mushrooms.

This was so luxurious, we both felt a little spoiled. I sautéed the mushrooms in butter, garlic and thyme, and dressed the greens with a simple vinaigrette. The addition of Marcona almonds just added to the decadence.
