    Mushrooms

    These were about as fresh as you can get. Straight from the grower with gills still pink. Perhaps an older one would fare differently

    Mushrooms

    So I did the experiment... Method -2 mushrooms in a sealed plastic bag and two in a closed (Burger King) paper bag. Store in fridge 8 days. Results- Starting weight paper bag fungi 2.3 oz, plastic ones 2.1 oz The paper bag mushrooms lost 40% of their weight...the plastic bag stored ones lost 0.5% of their weight Both looked fine at the end. Fig 1 Before storage. Paper bag shrooms are the first two Fig 2 After 8 day storage Fig 3 Crossection Discussion Looks like plastic bag storage has no ill effects after 8 days and preserves volume and weight. If one plans to cook them down anyway the preservation of volume may not matter, but if I wanted caps to stuff with sausage and cream cheese then the loss of volume in paper stored mushrooms might be an issue.
  3. @rotuts Rusk as in dried bread? I think I too have tasted nutmeg in bangers in Ireland and England
  4. They are standard issue, flavorless hotel buffet sausages. No spice was endangered in their making.😠
  5. Salmon arancini? Dubious

    Dinner 2019

    They were collardish. Nice. Just pretty unavailable unless you can find a fresh cut cauliflower.
  7. I’d have imagined Canada to be brimming with sausages of all sorts. Huh

    2019 Farmers Markets

    Its getting down to the end of the season here in PA. Lots of root vegetables and cauliflower (in different shades). I'll miss it. The prices are great and the stuff is very fresh and grown locally.

    @JoNorvelleWalker Maybe you could leave out the ramps and sub in onions...different Rx then. You have my permission in any event.

    Food recalls

    I’ve read that Costco has rigorous food safety inspections. More than required by law.
