Sigh... yet more unwelcome fungal residents in our yard. This time, several phallic-looking morels, each with a thick shaft a couple of inches in diameter, in the leaf mulch in the side yard. The kids think they're weird... as long as they don't touch the things. Gah.

Actually, even if they are perfectly for safe for most people to eat, Brian couldn't. He has an allergy that can make him quite ill (although not deathly so). The kids we don't feed mushrooms on the off chance that they've inherited his allergy (it's not like wheat or dairy -- it's quite easy to live without mushrooms), and I've sort of lost the taste for them after so many years of not eating them. (When we go out, I tend not to get mushroom dishes because then we couldn't share food.)

When I ordered the meals for our wedding dinner, I asked the hotel over and over whether the London Broil had mushrooms on it. They assured me it didn't. Guess what? They were wrong. Poor Brian couldn't even eat dinner at his own wedding reception.

Oh yes, I remember hopeforyou's allergy, but forget that Brian shares it.
