Add garlic powder
Not on your life.

(Mmm, got me into nostalgic mood about my mom's hunters stew, before she turned 24/7 lush)
Carlos steak
We'd probably go Tex-Mex 'round here: marinate overnight in some picante sauce, a little lime juice, a little vegetable oil, and a little tequila. Grill, rest, and slice across the grain into strips. Load into tortillas with grilled onion and peppers, top with fresh pico de gallo.

On my life ....... I find the powder more controllable and as good as fresh
(if that's what you were getting at)

Actually, nearly over. But with 7 days of Indian Summer (after wet) we have had a feast!
The New Forest is 30Km away and lush. Most Brits haver no interest or idea what to pick. My wife is Russian and has a keen nose and eye. I love to cook.
Photos are a typical forest scene: Going home yesterday with a basket full (one is "allowed" 1.5Kg each, strictly non commercial) and tonight's antipasti:
Fresh pasta dressed with olive oil and black pepper, freshly shaved parmigiana, with Cêpes cooked in butter. To die for.
Cêpes are rare and hard to find, but worth it!
I find it difficult to believe that NO-one does mushrooms!

Sorry Cliff, no one responded to your mushroom post and that's not right. I have spent many an hour doing what you have showed us and to this day fungi, regardless of the form or the source are big in my diet.
Cheers.
The other kind of mushroom that others might be onto, are something far in the past. Not enough gray matter to spare. 😉

hitsware...we have to talk. 🙂

Ahem.
It's tough here, not many wild mushrooms. But in my California and Montana days...
I have a field guide and have had successful hunts in the past, but it's just been too dry here. Even the cactus struggles. 'Shrooms ain't got a chance.
Cal, where's the bread? 🙂

hitsware, it simple.
Dried garlic is like dried anything, you can't rehydrate and expect the original. I understand why it exists but if you have the choice...
Cheers.

Shocking isn't it.😀
Turkey sandwiches for lunch tomorrow...again? Hey, thinks could be worse, a lot worse, right?
Thanks.
So is mushroom gathering common in parts of the US that have the right climate?
I know of no other Brits who would trust themselves to do it - except those wed to "foreigners" like me!
There is a big Russian diaspora around here, all post Perestroika. So we are no strangers to Blini, Caviare (red - black is stupidly expensive), Borsch, and iced Vodka!
Edit: I missed Firechief's haul! Great picture! They will make a great omelette.
I guess Seattle has the right climate (Frasier always wore a raincoat 🙂
