Autumn Feast

Just thought I'd put up some pics of the Shaggy Inkcaps Mum and I ate last night.


Rosie came round this evening and we picked some more on the way back, although they were too old and went inky. There's so many down on Leigh Hill, I've never seen so many before!


We also cooked the Shaggy Parasol, stuffed with garlic tomato sauce topped with breadcrumbs and cheese. We had this with carrots from my plot and the chestnuts Rosie and I picked on Sunday. Mmmm...



While all this was happening we cooked up some more Japonica Jelly from the bush in my garden. We boiled it for longer this time, and it went a lovely red colour, although still didn't set as well as the one we bought at the Farmer's market!

For pudding we had plums some of the walnuts we got from Stubbs Farm on the same walk as the chestnuts.

Chestnuts

Went for a long walk to Binstead and Wheatley with Rosie today and found some decent sized chestnuts to roast. Also found this Boletus mushroom with loads of others really near her house. It was pretty old and we weren't sure what it was, although retrospectively it looks like an edible one. Will double check next time we find them...
