All was not a total loss today I found some wood ear, although not enough to bother picking. I also saw some false turkey tails, also not worth my time. Last but not least, I found some dryads saddle. I usually don’t bother picking it. It cuts easy enough but chews like eating a leather belt. Some people claim that eating the tips when they are young is ok, but I never had any luck. I have heard of people making a mushroom stock out of it so I thought I would give it a try and make a soup. If its a success I’ll post about it.
The ingredients are simple and the execution is as easy as drinking. First, freeze a can of coconut water in an ice tray with or without pulp. Personally, I like chewing on the bits of pulp at the bottom of the drink. Second, pour your favorite dark rum over a couple of cubes as if it were whiskey on ice. And lastly, enjoy life! My go-to dark rums are Pampero Aniversario or Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva. If I want something a little different, I might go for Patron’s Pyrat. If I’m on a budget, I’ll go for some good ol Kracken.
