Morels!!!!!!!!!

20 years ago

We have owned this farm land for 8 years now and this is the first spring we have actually been living here. We always heard there were lots of morel mushrooms to be found on our land, but we could only find three or four each year because we were only here a couple of times a month for a weekend. This is a mushroom for people who don't like mushrooms! A unbelievable delicacy.

My husband came down from the woods this afternoon with a pound of these babies and we plan to saute them in butter and pig out this evening! WOHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Enjoy! But don't forget that they are worth mega-bucks if you can find a market!

Well, I guess we had a $30 snack last night! Chicago is a 6 hr. round trip for us, so we would have to have lots of morels to sell to up-scale restaurants to justify the cost of gas and hastle of Chicago traffic for a day!

We got away from that congestion last year when we retired and it would take lots of $$$$ for me to want to go back there even for a day. (We lived in the Naperville area, but did weekly business in the city --- what a mess that is!)
