And a Tip O' The Hat to me buddie Stanelli 4 translating this from the Portuguese. Love ya Brudda.......And as a sidebar to Mondays post...
......I did (last night) stuff a chicken with those saddles and it was an exceptional gustatory revelation. I just sliced them up thin and stuffed them in there. Their essence permeated the whole bird. I saute'd the rest and served those on top of some fresh springtime asparagus from the Silver Lake Cottage garden. Thanx Suzie & Bob!!

When It Rans, It Pours.......................

Today I happened upon easily 3X as many Dryad's saddles as I did yesterday. All very young and springtime tender. They've all been sliced thin and are in the dehydrator drying out; To be used sometime later in sauces, risottos and soups. Whats left over fresh I think I'll use to stuff a chicken. I still haven't found any Morels, they are the Grail that I seek.

Gawd A Mighty.........................................

I just caught and ate my first Dryad's Saddle (Polyporus squamosus). I've seen them out there before but they were older and too tough. This one was spring time tender and absolutely out of this world delicious. They aren't called the lobster of spring for nothing!! Saute'ed in a little butter with some herbs d' Provence, a splash of wine and some salt. Done. Too good.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh............................

......I cast before ye the Motherlode of Foghorn Leghorn sound files. But regrettably my favorite is not among them....thats the one where he gets all of his feathers blown off by Little Henry and holding a spent stick of dynamite Foghorn, with a soot blackened face says..."Fortunately I keep my feathers numbered for just, such occasions". How did the world turn on it's axis before Foghorn Leghorn cartoons..... I'm askin' ya, Son.... Was there even light in the world? God Bless the Day when Foghorn first strutted his stuff. Amen. Amen. Amen I say unto thee. Go in Glee and Giggles, my Brethren. Try not to enjoy. I dare you.
