Okay, okay, I know I’m a French kitty, and I really should have used champignons in the title of this blog but I couldn’t find any alliterative word that worked!!! So let’s go with the Italian one and marvel at the SACK of mushrooms that our nice neighbor, Christine, brought to our front door yesterday. Amazing number of perfect cêpes—some of them mama has sliced and frozen for the future, and some we are having tonight, grilled and sprinkled with parsley and garlic and the rest were whipped up into a silky soup for tomorrow’s lunch. Note the use of ‘we’ in that last description…

Okay, okay, kitties aren’t supposed to like mushrooms, but who knows? Mama says that it’s healthy just to let me smell them and decide for myself because I’m pretty good at knowing what to put in the temple that is my little body.

So if you have access to wild mushrooms (and know how to identify them, of course—THAT is most important), and you have too many, just slice them and freeze them in ziplock bags for the future. What treasures these are and what good neighbors to have. They pet me, too, and talk to me in the garden as if I were an anthro. Well? What do you expect?
