Just the possibility of being able to find some morels seems good enough to me.
Recently I dined at a high-end Seattle restaurant and ordered a housemade pasta with morels -- there were two or three truffle-sized shavings of morels on the half-cup of pasta, all centered on a MASSIVE plate. Hrmph. Won't be going back there any time soon.
When we were kids Dad used to take us Morel and Puffball hunting in a friends bush lot. Always found lots. Then we would come home and he would cook them up for us. (not rubbing it in of course) I personally never found any but Dad just seemed to have an eye. As for the dog, train him to find MONEY then you can buy as many morels as you please. (I know, not the same as finding them yourself)
Gypsies used to start small fires on the forest floor to encourage the sprouting of next year's morels. The only one I have ever found was right outside my workshop, on a piece of ground where a stolen car had been torched. Try having a small fire?

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 46 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live in an ancient cottage, in a tiny village, in perfectly tranquil countryside. We have a vegetable garden called 'Haddock's' (this may crop up from time to time), plenty of fruit trees, and a view that takes the breath away. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!

ReplyDeleteI've never had a morel so I can't feel your pain. But I do hope you'll strike it rich someday.
