Things I love today: Morels

Mmmm. I have a new favorite fungi! Last night, we took BART to Berkeley for dinner with octogenarians Mel and Thelma and Jean, Trent and mom. It’s becoming almost an annual tradition to meet up at Lo Coco’s on Shattuck for a meal with this group!

Rob and I shared a wonderful Sicilian pizza that included black morels, gorgonzola, romano and mozzarella. It was seasoned with pepper and bit of nutmeg. Absolutely delicious!

I don’t think I had morels before last night and now I am addicted! And I’m not alone. There are entire websites devoted to morel recipes online.
