It's been such a rainy August a mushroom sprouted up in my Greek oregano planter on the back porch! It would be nice if this were a Chanterelle (which I've never had--yet)...
Meanwhile, I've been worried about the declining service, especially on weekends, at Julius Meinl recently. Here's a review on Gapers Block's Drivethru, which I hope would help them get their acts together. I really don't want to see them close their doors--since that's where I first met Patrick!
