JOE....Karen and I were into the mushroom tea thing for awhile. You also give them to friends for starters of their own. Nothing harmful, possibly a bit invigorating, and as you say, almost cider like. Supposedly it has great medicinal value. However, my old friend, consider this: After we drank the stuff for about a year, I had the by-pass, the aneurysm, the ablation, a foot of small bowel removed, and then the replaced mitral valve. Enjoy it!!!! (or not)

WALKING EAGLE.....Bro, I LOVE RAMPS!!! The only requirement for eating ramps is to be sure EVERYONE eats ramps with you else there is a lot of complaining from any who haven't. Ramps, for the uneducated, are like a very strong onion, but that doesn't begin to describe the flavor!

MARIO......I think we come from the same family. Nothing like the post holiday dinner concoctions is there? Dressing sandwich with cranberries and turkey sound familiar (or something along those lines). I used to think there was nothing like a good baked bean sandwich! Come to think of it, I'd go for one right now...........

BILL D.......You REALLY need to try my "Buttermilk Pie" recipe.....you'll be in hog heaven.
