dye experiments

dye experiments don't always end in spectacular results...here's an example

Squashing slices of Lactarius deliciosus between the pages of a moleskine notebook the first reveal [above] looked quite promising 
but it oxidized quite quickly
and was even less exciting after cooking
Good thing I was using pieces from one that was a bit too decrepit to enjoy 
warmed in a frying pan with sour cream, garlic and a little salt & pepper.

sometimes good food is just good food...and that's enough for me!

  4. Too bad the orange didn't last, but at least in the end it is a color:). Many times my experiments yield tan, tan and tan.. at the best.
