Thanksgiving Day

The secret ingredient in my Thanksgiving gravy: king bolete mushrooms.


The end of the meal: a pear-fig galette.


The end of the day: a sunset over the Pacific.

Food and familly

Our fall has been busy with both food and travel to see family.  Within the last 2 weeks, we have driven south to California and north to Washington.

In Napa, we visited a couple of wineries and my parents.

Domaine Chandon


After we returned to Oregon, the rains began, and the first king bolete mushrooms of the season popped up.  I came home with 4.5 pounds one day last week.


This weekend, we drove up to Washington to visit Fran and Sadie.

Goldilocks, the birthday girl


After our drive home, I went for a neighborhood walk, and came home with three more king bolete mushrooms.
