Local Bounty: Shiitake Mushrooms

Look what showed up at the market this week! Shiitake mushrooms!!! I almost can't believe it. Mushrooms are difficult to grow, so I have a whole new level of respect for Tim and Meg. After attempting to grow some of our own food, I think it has made us appreciate these precious farmers and the rest of the Community Farmers' Market community even more. I asked Tim his favorite way to eat the shiitake mushrooms. He recommended venison with onions and mushrooms. So that's exactly how we ate them. They were mighty fine!
