Foraging

Lately I've been completely into the whole hunter/gatherer scene here in England.  
Emphasis on gatherer.  
Free food is something that I am always a fan of so when you see it just growing in the woods, 
screaming "Eat me I am delicious and free!" fatty's gotta pounce!


I actually picked these on the outskirts of a soccer field while Heidi chased swallows.
Birds exercise my energetic puppy, and I pick berries.
Multitasking at it's finest I think.


The berries were soon turned into this.
Which looks kind of ugly but it tasted good.
Especially when Nick brought home Our Cow Molly to top it off.


I stole the recipe from here.
It worked out pretty well for a quick dessert since we're so busy right now.

ps.  It is mushroom season here in England.  
We see shrooms everywhere and we just bought a mushroom identification book.
We took it out for a spin this weekend and so far we're pretty sure we're going to poison ourselves.
But, fingers crossed, we'll identify some edibles and there will be mushroom hunting adventures on here soon.
Told you I was into gathering.

  7. This looks so delicious!! It's so great that you picked the berries yourself! I would love to be able to do that instead of purchasing them, haha. Can't wait to see what else you make with them in the future!

  8. Okay seriously..."fatty's gonna pounce"??? I about fell off my chair laughing!! Loved it!!

    Those berries and the corresponding dessert look so good. All I get when I step out the door is concrete. Concrete pie? Not so much.

    Enjoy the shrooms!!
