A Mushroom Delight
The BlogDog will surely sit up and take notice of this regarding a mushroom boom in Alaska. I certainly know the thought of all those morels sets my mouth to watering. Here is the summary:

Morel mushrooms, treasured for French cooking, often thrive on land in the year following a forest fire, and Alaska set records in scorched earth last year.

I love to cook with mushrooms though have never had the inclination to cook with some of the more expensive morels that appear ready to flourish in Alaska. I guess it's my Scottish thriftiness at work, though if I find a local source or make a roadtrip to Alaska this could change.
