Mushrooms.


Northern had some whole Portobello mushrooms, nice size, 4 to a pack for $2.44. BigLand had sliced Portobello’s for $6.99 a pack. Something out of whack there.

Any way I diced up two of the Portobello’s and half a punet of button mushrooms. . Sautéed them in three or four tablespoon butter. Added two table spoons brandy, some garlic and 1 cup sour cream.
Served them with a pan cake, they went well after a big bowl of what is becoming one of my specialties, leek and potato soup with croutons.

The first panel discussion of what CBC is calling ‘the road north’ was aired this morning on Labrador Morning. The pod cast is not up at time of publishing, hope it is later.
This morning it was southern Labradors turn, tomorrow will be central and western’s turn, I presume Thursday it will be the north’s turn.
There is no attempt on my part to correlate CBC and mushrooms; it is pure coincidence that they appear on the same post.
Now if it had of been NG and mushrooms, wink wink nudge nudge.

Hi Brian,

The series is called "The Road Ahead" and you're right, there will be a discussion about the north coast coming on Thursday. The podcast for the south coast is up: http://podcast.cbc.ca/mp3/labmorning_20090512_15511.mp3 Tony usually has them up by about noon.

Thanks for the correction Peter. It was lethe on my part, alas with experience comes forgettery, I am confident that you are not impercipient in this matter.
Maybe I could check back with you in 40 years and see how you are doing.
Now that you have pointed it out; where are the northern roads moving forward.

Well Brian, at least you've grow adept at creating something from the mushrooms constantly shoved your way. And that does look delicious. Just listened to the podcast for South Coast. Heavy on the "Hope and Change", light on real substance. I can't imagine what the one for the North Coast will be. Cutting the ether most likely. Or some other vaporous and ethereal subject matter.

I'm kind of afraid how bad my memory will be in 40 years. Isn't exactly a steel trap right now.

I should have also mentioned that We have the transportation minister for a sit down interview for Friday's show addressing some of the issues people have raised in the three regions.

As for a road north, that's certainly one of the things Danny Michelin from Rigolet brings up in the north coast discussion tomorrow.
