Life at Blodgett forest has been pretty great so far; lots of cool new people, a chill job with lots friendly owls, a sweet cabin in an experimental forest, and nearby adventures abound. The only down side is the white headed woodpecker that pecks on the side of my room between the hours of 5 and 8 am. He won't like long at this rate.
My boss flagged me down Tuesday evening to say she'd found her first morels of the season. When I got back from the field this morning I headed straight out again and found seven of my first ever morels! Apparently its not looking like a good year but oh well, its always nice to add another species to the forage list and have a tasty lunch once in a while.
I sautéed a few with some butter and garlic and threw them together with some Gruyere cheese into a quesadilla. It was simply divine, I must find more...
