mushroom hunt

so if your not from around here, these little beauties are morel mushrooms. They are a seasonal treat for us iowans, our country version of a truffle, but not really. Here they are cleaned, no more rollie pollies and slugs and now in a shiny red bowl but half the fun of these is the hunt. There are many ways to indulge in these but I love them sauteed up with a bit of paula deens house seasoning. yummy. Heres to the signs of spring. Finally.
