pasta shells and chanterelles
Monday, July 12 2021
I had a little struggle with Angular today (it was doing the extremely annoying thing where an ng serve is more tolerant of errors than an npm build), interrupted by a meeting of the tax department in the remote workplace (a great opportunity to play the New York Times Spelling Bee, where the panagrams were "knuckled" and "clunked"). One of the things happening this week at my employer is our return to the office after more than fifteen months away, though it will only be three days per week, which would probably be good for my marriage.
Another thing that is good for my marriage is for me to occasionally prepare dinner. So tonight I made pasta. All the spaghetti was either angelhair or rice, so I made a pasta that looked like shells instead, along with a side of onions and tofu. There weren't any mushrooms.
After that was done, I took the electric scooter for a little ride up the Farm Road, something I do occasionally just to blow off steam. As I approached the Chamomile Headwaters Trail, I remembered a Facebook friend posting something about chanterelles being in season (down in Virginia). A good chanterelle spot is along the lower Chamomile Headwaters Trail. I hadn't brought a bag, but I could probably gather enough for dinner in the bottom front of my teeshirt. It turned out that there were even more chanterelles than expected, some of them growing under water in a rivulet of the Chamomile headwaters (it had been raining again for much of the day).
Back at the house, I fried up a pan of chanterelles for me and Powerful, but then it turned out that Powerful was had gone up to Albany to move stuff into the room he's rented there for grad school.
When Gretchen got home, she mixed up a cheese sauce of some pre-packaged vegan product and also made spinach, and with all these ingredients in with the pasta shells and chanterelles, it made for a delicious meal.
Today's harvest of chanterelles.
