What's Cooking?

Today was plain Jane food day for us.  Lunch at church, I wrapped some jumbo hot dogs in bacon and grilled them, one of the other dishes was interesting and delicious, butternut squash chunked up and sliced apples, with some brown sugar and butter and baked, it was delicious.  It's a Methodist Church so food is never lacking.

Well it was the full-blown fried chicken dinner at ness BnB tonight. Ho made mashtaters, cream gravy, corn (note placement, both plates; what a woman). Lot of work and a lot of clean up, plus the house will smell like fried chicken for a week, but what the hay.

 There is those copper mugs again. Then you just had to put the corn in the gravy. I suppose the crunch of the corn in the gravy could add some appeal . Actually my mashed potato dam breaks and the lava flow of gravy gets into the corn mountain. No biggie it makes the corn more easy to scoop onto the fork. Looks good, which one of you has the gravy on the chicken?

Corn on the taters, then the gravy. It's important to do it in that order ?

That was her with gravy on the chicken.

   What a gal, sounds like she has her priority right with the gravy.  She may be a keeper   . Hope she can straighten you out,

What's that stuff in the little bowl?

Also there's no where near enough fried chicken for two adults.

     We have not found but a couple of sulfur shelf. I keep looking though.   The hens we find at the bases of oaks that are on their way down hill. Past their prime and deteriorating. Have found them in damper timbered areas and on well drained hill sides. Guess it depends on the available moisture and ideal conditions. Our man Gavin on here should chime in as he knows a bunch on shrooms. When you get them figured out in your area you can be overwhelmed with the abundance of them just like you have with the chanterells.

The most overwhelmed I ever was involved three huge trash bags of oyster shelf collected in a wet November in the Missouri River bottoms near Labadie.  A massive grove of dead four inch to six inch sycamores.  It was incredible.

Of all the mushrooms I have ever had, oyster shelf is my bar none favorite.

Little bowl was melted butter for the bread. 

As for amount of chicken: Portion control, baby.

Fried chicken is one of my weaknesses in life.  I would give up cigars and alcahol before I give up fried chicken.
