My mom makes a pretty bomb chicken marsala with black chanterelles. Last time I was up I picked a grip of blacks and she showed me how.

Welcome back! Nice purples. Were you just making a salad? Should have added potatoes.

btw, I was hoping for photos like yours when I started this thread.

zero photos because my carefully sliced cucumbers were ugly/broken, my braise was dry and mealy, and the best bunch of asparagus I could find at whole foods still looked like someone had previously tried to cram it up their arsehole.

The san marzano tomato, onion, and cannellini bean pasta sauce was pretty good but I don't think anyone wants to see a picture of an onion and a can of beans.

That sounds good. How would you prepare the potatoes for a salad?

Yes, it was a composed salad. Tonight I am making fingerlings fried in duck fat.

Welcome back and how are you finishing those fingerlings? Matt told me to finish them with diced garlic, fresh parsley and salt and he was oh so right.

Thanks. I was just going to sprinkle some coarse sea salt on them, but garlic and parsley sounds like it will help elevate their flavor even further.
