What's Goin' On!

Well, we finally dropped our new leaner show...which matches my leaner frame. And people wonder why I haven't been talking about cooking lately. Well, I don't cook much and I don't eat much, but I'm sure that'll change in the months coming up as I start my exercise regimen.

The new show, dropped last week, features several varieties of mushrooms, although a couple people noted we had to blaze through porcini, morel and truffles at the very end to fit our new tight deadline.

In fact, as versatile as they are, they are more expensive and have a narrower application than many of the other, more 'pedestrian' mushrooms like crimini, shiitake and white buttons. While you can enhance the flavor of any dish with the three I listed there, you would probably want to save the higher end mushrooms (definitely truffles!) for a more centerpiece application. Hey, if you have an unlimited budget or a cheap source for the higher end mushrooms, go for it, with the understanding they lend a more earthy flavor to a dish than the others.

Next show: Soups! (Yeah, I know we've done that before, but we're heading into winter)
