It is that time of year again! These morrel mushrooms went into a smoked trout, mushroom creamy sauce pasta. It's cold out there, but stuff is still growing. Happy foraging!

Happy Thanksgiving, Canada! I'm sure there are many of you working on meals for today, tomorrow or even Monday. Some things are best prepped or cooked the day before, especially when oven space is limited. Today we are cooking the stuffing for the turkey and the ham for our second meat. This one is resting now. Glazed with a mix of our maple mustard, sweet pickles juice and mild mannered jerk.
