Mushrooms and Blackberries

Just back from breakfast with our church friends at the Rakota (best omelettes in town) and I had the usual -- mushroom and swiss -- and I realize why I love mushrooms. I was born in a little town in Ohio and once a year, my family would go out to the woods and the grownups would gather mushrooms, while we kids would pick blackberries. Then, back to grandma's where the mushrooms were breaded and fried in butter;  and the blackberries were baked into pies -- yum!
