Morels!

A mighty band of brave morel mushroom hunters searched the countryside and came back with a good pile of the yummy treats!  Everyone in our hunting party found some.  And I'm happy to say that Catherine, on her first morel hunt ever, found the biggest one. 

If you have never had the pleasure of eating morel mushrooms then you are really missing out.  They have a distinct meaty flavor, very different from a regular mushroom.  I like to saute them up in butter and wine, with some salt splashed on top.  They go great with steak.  But I fixed some pork chops for this batch.  I saved enough for one more meal... and I'm already looking forward to it.
