It was a huge day
The Frenchman and my friends around the way met up the other day for tacos and beers near my pad, along with the Firecracker.
Not soon afterward, we all went to the ABFF’s for dinner as well.
That’s the thing about living in Manhattan; everyone who lives here is generally pretty willing to meet up anywhere on the island for a last minute something.
Back when Alison got sick, I did a pretty deep dive into medicinal mushrooms, particularly things like Turkey Tail for anti-cancer properties.
But I also discovered that lots of culinary mushrooms have pretty impressive health benefits as well so the past year or so, I’ve been growing all types of mushrooms in the pad.
My fave is probably Lion’s Mane as it has a taste and texture similar to seafood – which you know I love – and cooks very easily.
But it’s not the easiest one to grow.
In any case, I had to stop because it turns out that fruit flies love mushrooms as well so it was a constant fight keeping them at bay.
It’s a shame – it was nice having a constant supply of fresh mushrooms to eat.
Her: (cooking) Do you have any mushrooms?
Me: Shoot I’m out.
Her: You’re out!?
Me: Yeah, I’m as surprised as you are.
Today was a huge day for me, professionally, for a number of various reasons.
Unfortunately, I can’t tell you anything about it but…yeah, it was huge.
Her: I think it would take me 20 weeks to do what you did in two.
Me: It doesn’t happen very often but it’s pretty cool when it does.
Maybe I’ll tell you about it someday.
