I'd say I'd move there, but my heart is in Skibbereen, where they have wild game on Saturdays (mind the buckshot!) and freshly-baked bread daily.<br /><br />I'm amazed at the range of grains Bob's Red Mill has. They sound so poetic--farro and emmer and spelt. And I love name amaranth.

That doesn't help me know what to do with them, though. We usually get a few in our woods, but I'm a big chicken about picking my own mushrooms. Love that purple one.<br /><br />You've inspired me to look for farro. I've been eyeing a bag of curious grains at my health food store but I don't know quite what to do with it.

The ones pictured here are only about half of what I saw. I need to find more dried ones around here. Wegman's and Whole Foods often have nice ones, but neither one is close. Good luck with the soup--and the snow!Sheila Connollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165644581595919711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-5651147437803736942015-01-23T15:02:36.466-05:002015-01-23T15:02:36.466-05:00I stumbled on a farmers' market in Northampton...I stumbled on a farmers' market in Northampton, MA one fall where there was a vendor with piles of nothing but mushrooms. I walked up to him and said, "I want a pound of everything!" I settled for only four kinds, though. I passed on the puffball the size of a softball because I had no idea what to do with it.Sheila Connollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165644581595919711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-65959699272455836122015-01-23T14:59:20.392-05:002015-01-23T14:59:20.392-05:00I am so jealous, Libby!

I've never been in the right place at the right time to collect any, partly because I don't know when they're in season (not to mention which ones are poisonous!).Sheila Connollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165644581595919711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-24367390684954676562015-01-23T14:56:47.872-05:002015-01-23T14:56:47.872-05:00Actually I was happily surprised by farro.

I hope to make the soup tomorrow while the snow is coming down and I won't want to go out but would like something yummy. I am the big mushroom fan so cannot wait to make it. <br ceblainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16192522179238414380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-32994925473919319482015-01-23T12:26:29.329-05:002015-01-23T12:26:29.329-05:00THIS is why I want a mushroom vendor at my farmers...THIS is why I want a mushroom vendor at my farmers market.

There were morel mushrooms growing in the woods behind my mother's house. When we visited for Mother's Day we would find them. What a flavor treat! And then they disappeared.
