All this talk about morel mushrooms is making decide to share about a Wild Morel & Leek Jack cheese by Meister that’s just incredible when shredded and melted over steak. I actually slice regular mushrooms and sauté those, then top the mushrooms with the cheese and let it melt, then top the steaks with the melted cheesy mushroom goodness. It’s my favorite way to serve a great steak. My local butcher sells the cheese, but if you can’t find it locally, it can be purchased online. It’s heavenly!

“Wild Morel & Leek Jack cheese”

I will second that recommendation! We had a WONDERFUL shop (three locations) called Brennan’s and they had fresh fruit, veggies, every wine under the sun and their own line of cheese. I would always buy the Morel & Leek Jack. So, SO GOOD!

I really miss that store. Never did get the skinny on why they closed up shop - it wasn’t for lack of business and half my paycheck some weeks, LOL!

That sounds amazing. I'm gonna have to try it.

I managed to catch a few more last week. Some of these had a bit of frostbite on them but that's no big deal - just snip the bad stuff off and they're good to go. We've eaten most of the freshest ones already. I gave a gallon or so away to a couple of my neighbors who can't get around good enough to find their own. I've got a couple gallons dehydrating to save for later, and the really junky ones I chucked on the ground in my woods to maybe get lucky and start a new patch.

My spots are pretty much finished for the year unless we get some rain real soon now.

I made some more progress on the new hoop house over the weekend. The stringers are all up and the ground has been covered with a nice layer of topsoil. Still need to install the cattle panels, frame the ends, and cover it with greenhouse film. I'm out of time to start tomatoes and peppers from seed so I'll just buy bedding plants this time.

The bundle of Dunstan Chestnut trees that I ordered earlier in the spring arrived on Friday. I was able to get two of them planted yesterday morning. I hope to get the rest of them in by the end of the week.
