The secret ingredient

Trader Joe’s sells mushroom powder, which is the secret ingredient in a lot of my recipes where you need an umami kick. In gravy, in soups, roasts…. anywhere you might use mushrooms.

Sadly, there is no Trader Joes for hours from us, so whenever we are in a town that has one, we stop in with our list of Trader Joe’s essentials.

Thanksgiving detritus

We went to Renee’s brother’s house in Little Rock for Thanksgiving. Her family needed to be together after the death of Lori, her sister, last week. Lori’s husband and their daughter were also there. It was good, but sad. It’s OK, though, because it’s supposed to be sad when people you love die.
