Hello there ..
Hope you have had a good day ...
We've been working today .. it was cold .. but profitable...hey ho!
Just stopped by to show you my bargain of the day ...
just a case of being in the right place at the right time.
The veg stall had bags of these mushrooms in a box ...
50p a bag...
They don't look great .. getting past their best (but arn't we all!) ...
but still good food .. good eating.
Nice people the veg stall ... a family run business ...
On the '50p a bag ' sign some one had written 'ideal for soup'...
Great marketing ploy because some people just wouldn't know what to do with .. urmm ..
produce past its best ... or 'manky mushrooms' as a friend of mine remarked!
Anyway .. I know Hubby P isn't a great fan of mushrooms so I picked up just one bag ..
thought I'd make a drop of soup for me .. I love soup ... as you know.
It was halfway through the day and obviously the manky mushrooms were not a great seller ..
so the lady gave me a bag for free ... how kind ...
I'm sure I will find something to do with them.
Once we got in from work .. got the fire lit and the house warmed up ...
To be honest I wasn't up to much..
So I had an enjoyable hour .. by the fire peeling mushrooms.
Once I had taken the outer skin off ... they were fine ... firm and wholesome flesh.
And I found it a very therapeutic thing to do ....
bit like peeling sunburn skin .. or is that a bit yuck!
So here they are ... a big colander full ..
What shall I do with them all ... a little soup perhaps ... any ideas?
Its funny/sad the kind of thing that can make a Girls day ... ha ha.
Keep warm and toasty
Bye for now x
