9. The pastries and sandwiches look delicious, but if I had about

4 of the large tomatoes, or 6 of the small tomatoes I could make a big batch of macaroni salad. Yum !!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. Mmmm!

Your pictures are a delicious indulgence. With no calories! Thanks!

Sure wish I could have some of that lion’s mane, though. I just learned how to cook it properly as the local supplier stopped coming to our market for the winter.

I did score some black bean tamales from our market yesterday. Lunch today!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

35. Thanks so much, my dear Easterncedar!

I did wonder how you cook the lion's mane. It's beautiful.

Enjoy your lunch; it sounds yummy!

[Easterncedar]

38. The way I like lion's mane now is easy

You press it to remove liquid and slice it into filets and saute them in a little oil or butter seasoned as you like. Since their health benefits are significant, I have tended to then just eat a small amount of the pleasantly chewy and slightly crispy filet at a time rather than centering it as a meal ingredient, but if I had your market I would serve as a main.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

39. Thanks for telling me! Maybe sometime I'll be brave enough to try it.

[Easterncedar]

32. Mousetoescamper still missing.

No reply to my direct messages. You haven’t heard anything, Peggy, have you?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

36. I have reached out to him as well. The last time we talked, he had a bad cold.

Not sure what's going on with him. I miss him too.

[Diamond_Dog]

33. TY Peggy! Scrumptious looking and beautiful all at the same time.

I’m on sensory overload, but in a good way!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

37. It's my pleasure to share my photos with you! Thank you, my dear Diamond_Dog!

I'm glad you're enjoying them.
