Into The Woods We Go

Today a neighbor invited us all out to go morel hunting. It was REALLY cold out there considering it's spring, I mean they are calling for a frost tonight and people have already started planting their fields so no one was planning on that happening for sure.
Our neighbor and family took all of us out to 2 spots to find these little guys and I'll be honest... I. Needed. Glasses. I couldn't see them if my life depended on it at first. I only ended up finding like 8-10 on my own. The kids did really good tho! Our kids did better than me once we showed them what they looked like and on the top side MINE EVEN ATE THEM.
Yes, that's right! My picky eating children ate fried morels. I might have called them fried chicken at first because around here we say everything is chicken until they try it then if they like it I tell them the truth.
Back to us hunting, we found a few big yellows and the rest were smell greys? I believe but the 5 kids all had bun bread bags and they filled up at least one bag completely with each trip, usually a little more than that. Neighbors kids were leading our kids around and letting them pick all the ones they found which was so sweet of them because they aren't much older than mine.


Now on to cooking, we have fried some up the past 2 nights here at the ole homestead because we're not sure how to freeze them and they turn out not soft and gooey. Personally when I make them I like to dip them in egg roll'em around a little in a flour mixture and them drop them in my hot pan to fry to a light golden brown. If you don't have your own flour mixture you like to use for things here's mine.

FLOUR MIXTURE:
1 C Flour
2 TBS seasoned salt (I use Lowery's)
1 teaspoon of black pepper

If you know how to freeze these little guys and save them, shoot me a message and let me know!! I'd love to be able to fry some up during the winter.

Mud or Poop?

As most of us know, rainy days bring inches of mud. Today we went walking the pasture just scooping things and out and Hope, the wild-crazy-...
