My Immediate Pot is again on the counter.
I take advantage of it often throughout the summer time however I take advantage of it so much throughout the winter so I need easy accessibility.
I discovered an area Asian market so I now not have to attend till we go to Bordeaux to refill on stuff. It’s a small store, with no place to park, proper on the primary street. I parked within the alley and walked right into a small, buffet-style restaurant. I had heard there was an Asian market someplace round right here however I assumed I used to be within the flawed place.
The proprietor got here out, smiled, and waved me across the money register.
Voila! an Asian grocery store!
I stocked up on the standard: water chestnuts, soy sauces, bean sprouts, rice noodles, quite a lot of dried beans and luggage of dried herbs. I do not know why these final 2 objects are at all times in Asian markets and at all times such good worth. I’m simply joyful they’re.

Two issues are totally different this yr chez nous: We’ve got a canine that places every thing and something in his mouth; we’ve got mushrooms.
We’ve got lived right here over 10 years and have had 4 canines throughout that point. I’ve not often seen mushrooms and solely the occasional toadstool throughout that point and not one of the 4 canines have been in the slightest degree .
This canine, if allowed, eats toadstools quicker than he eats his kibble (which is absolutely, actually quick) and lunges on the mushrooms.
After his first toadstool feast I requested the vet about it and he simply shrugged his shoulders, shook his head to say don’t fear, and laughed. The toadstools are within the fenced-in space, so I’ve been checking and destroying them anyway.
The mushrooms, nevertheless, are out within the subject. They’re what I do know as death-caps; all white with white frills. They’re toxic. However there are additionally white mushrooms with pink frills which can be edible.
We’ve got had heaps and many rain over the previous few weeks which might clarify the abundance of all of the fungi. We had frost a couple of nights in the past so I hoped the issue could be solved. Then I noticed this right now:

I noticed it from a distance and walked Hector far-off.
I went again later to take the images.
I’ve by no means seen this earlier than. It’s on the base or a lifeless walnut tree (spring challenge).

I’m actually undecided what it’s, however I’d guess it’s a cluster of open toadstools.
It’s reasonably spectacular, isn’t it?
