Veggies of Pike Place Market

Lobster Mushrooms

Not really a mushroom, its a fungus that grows over mushrooms.  Its has a reddish color and a lobster like taste.  Just make sure they are not slimy when you buy them

Oven Roasted Brussel Sprouts

! 1/2 pounds brussel sprouts

1/4 cup Olive Oil

2 garlic cloves minced

Salt and Pepper to taste

Pre-heat oven to 400.degrees. Cut off stems of the sprouts and pull off any yellow leaves.  Mix all ingredients together an spread on a sheet pan.  Cook for 40 minutes.  For even browning move sprouts on sheet pan  periodically

Broccolini Romanesco 

No this isn't an alien life form it a combination between cauliflower and broccoli.  These two veggies are so close in relation that they can be easily cross bred.   Great for making soup or oven roasting like the brussel sprouts.

Weedgie Boy (Iain Craig)

Weedgie Boy

I was cleaning out my computer and found this comic character drawn by Iain Craig.   I think he was modelled after Calvin from Calvin and Hobbs.  Weedgie Boy came to life about 12 years ago.  I used to get these care packages from Scotland, the envelope s were filled with newspaper clippings, drawings of our imaginary bar and fliers from clubs around Glasgow.  I still have all those packages somewhere.  I should dig them up and have a look at them.
