So, what are you eating right now?

^ Sounds good, Plankton. My daughter recently gave me a multicooker but I haven't used it yet. I love mushrooms too - especially the mixed exotic ones that are so interesting - like hen o' the woods, etc.! I occasionally make a porcini mushroom risotto.

I have yet to taste one of those hen o the woods. One of the major tree variants around here are Oaks too. I'll get to bite into one someday, just gotta make a point to do so. Porcini's are wonderful, and with a good risotto... hoo boy, just thinking about it... I gotta lay down for minute. lol

Yes, porcinis are to die for - particularly in a risotto! Hope you get to try those hens one day lol - they're delicious. I think mushrooms are incredibly interesting and beautiful. Good meat substitutes as well. Cooked mushrooms are one of the most nutritious things you can eat.

Mushrooms deserve all the love, especially in risotto! Your crockpot chicken sounds amazing Plank

Heck yeah. Spores are amazing things. I'll usually put off going to get groceries way down to the last of everything, but if I'm out of shrooms, I'm making a run.

Edit: Thanks MM. I was gonna make chicken piccata, but didn't feel like doing that much work, so plop in goes the chicken and everything else. Set and forget.

No food pics, but here's the aftermath. Some of the best chicken I've had in a while. It was melt-in-your-mouth goodness. Served with mashed taters and salad (with those little corn on the cob things).

Then some Long Islands for a capper. My lady friend hammered those down a little too quickly and had to call it an early night. lol It was a great Friday night meal at Casa De Planko though.

Having a late lunch of just a plain Shake Shack 'Shroom Burger on a brioche bun, with no lettuce or tomato (with a burst of cheese from inside the burger itself). Absolutely delicious, and the burger is light and crispy. Some lemonade on the side.

Mushrooms... *drool*

My LF made some broccoli cheese soup yesterday and gave me a jar full, so I threw in some of that leftover chicken I had. Dam good.
