Steve and I subscribe to a local vegetable service, which I love.  Every Thursday is now Produce Christmas.  Will I get the onions I hoped for?  Will there be another weird variety of radish that doesn’t go with anything I cook? Of course, the winter months can get a little monotonous  (There is a legion of parsnips in the crisper right now.  I think they are planning something. Maybe a crudites coup d’etat? A crudetat, if you will?) Still, there have been some fun surprises.  Like today’s delivery of the MOST ENORMOUS MUSHROOM I HAVE EVER SEEN.  I weighed it.  It is 10 ounces.  It is about the size of my considerably large head.

Here. I took a picture.  It doesn’t look quite as impressive as I think it is in real life. I should have found someone more diminutive to pose with it.  But it is glorious. I believe its destiny is to be a pair of delicious sandwiches.

Both my head and that mushroom are actual size.
