Chanterelles Redux
I went Chanterelle picking again recently. Fortunately the skies weren’t puking rain as they were the last time out. When it’s November in Western Oregon the temptation to stumble through the woods with my orbs glued to the ground is too hard to resist. Plus we’ve eaten up all our stash and need more for a Thanksgiving Chanterelle cream soup. We’re making a recipie out of Karen Brooks’ book, Oregon’s Cuisine of the Rain: From Lush Farm Foods to Regional Recipies. According to the Book the Chanterelle soup recipie is from Portland’s venerable restaurant Genoa.
The following photographs are in chronological order.
These are the waterlogged bits I pitched after cleaning. The first time I visited this spot I parked the car, opened the door and found a similar pile at my feet. I knew that I’d come to the right place.
This pack was my high school book bag and is still going strong after over 20 years.
