Shroomin'... :)~

I just realized that it was the 1 yr anniversary of my blog on the 6th. Humphhh, who knew I would actually keep this thing going for this long. Granted the frequency of my posts has been lacking... What-evs!..... :)~ .....

Today at work my chef took out this beautiful cluster of Oyster Mushrooms. They were like a work of art....I just had to take a picture!... Here they are....and below is a pic of Chef John Naughright holding the cluster. He is one of the most creative, cooooolest cats ever..... to know, and work for!!!

We both share a dislike in the texture of cooked mushrooms.....Although I think he's gotten over his "phobia"...LOL...I was telling him today that the only time I enjoyed eating one was when I drizzled red hot chili pepper infused xvoo over an Oyster mushroom, and put it in a 700 degree wood fired brick oven. It came out so crispy...Which explains why I liked it.....See, I love the flavor of mushrooms....but to bite into one is another story.....That damn texture thang.....anyway I encourage all you shroom haters to try this at home! :)~
