change of plans?

Teacup Lake got dumped on and is groomed for skiing today. I was going to climb Dog but maybe I should ski??? The bonus is, I could Faery it up and go play with the birds at Trillium Lake first, which is also probably snowy, if Teacup is. it's melting fast so I need to decide soon, and I have work to finish first, ack.

I've been regretting not trying again with the birds this year. It would be lovely regardless and probably very peaceful, sunny and warm, I'll still get a good workout if not as intense.

But, I *could* also wait until Monday, which is forecast for even MORE snow, colder temps so it'll be prettier, and I wouldn't be rushed. Odd that there is snow this late in the season so I feel like it's a gamble to skip today, and warmth would make photos easier, buuuut. hm.

mushroom hunting

one random funny thing i realized after years of mushroom hunting is that morels don't taste good at all. they are totally not good lol. but it's so hard to find them that it seems like they taste good.

this came to mind when i saw a post where someone suggested that they are good "fried in butter." ANYTHING is good fried in butter. "fried in butter" is how you save stale or bland or otherwise just crappy food. (that is how most people eating the Standard American Diet get their vegetables that would otherwise be unpalatable.) that is basically a way of saying "that is garbage but you can make it taste like not garbage." lolololol
