Earlier, I had a sort of surf and turf harvest. After many weeks of closure due to paralytic shellfish poisoning, mussel harvesting opened up for the entire coast, at the end of August. So, a week ago, I headed out on a low tide to pluck some off the rocks. Then later, I wondered what the wild mushroom population looked like. I came home with over a pound of chanterelles.
Of course, fall is always a busy time for us, with regard to food. I dried a flat of tomatoes, and we smoked a batch of salmon from the freezer.
