Marinated Mushrooms

I also made a marinated mushroom dish. I got some reshi mushroom powder from Holly’s shop ages ago and didn’t really use it much, and then last week I had some and have probably eaten it every day since!

  • lemon juice
  • flax oil
  • 1/2 tsp reshi mushroom powder
  • soak water from wakame seaweed

I mixed the above ingredients and then added sliced shiitake and chestnut mushrooms. I also soaked some dried porcini mushrooms and added them to the mix. Leave to marinate for a little while and then you have delicious mushrooms.

Wild Garlic Pesto

Wild GarlicI like making pesto with basil, but it’s not really in season at the moment, so I used some wild leaves I collected. I used mostly wild garlic (pictured) (Edit: this is not actually wild garlic, it’s Wild Leek. Photos of wild garlic here.), a few chives and a few sorrel leaves. I ground up a couple of handfuls of pine nuts, then added the leaves and some flax oil and blended. It had a strong flavour, delicious on a green salad of dandelion leaves and other wild greens.

Street lights get turned of, see the stars again!

I can’t believe it, at last local government gets something right and people start complaining. The Council in Buckinghamshire has started turning off street lights at midnight in an attempt to save money and the environment. Have a look at the photos, in the second photo with the street lights off, you can see the stars! Most people have probably forgotten what stars look like…
