This is the video that I used for the breathwork. I love his smooth, calm voice, and the soothing music backing up the pattern.

Shoup

  I love Cream of Mushroom soup. Not the super-homogenized stuff that you get in a can, but the made-from-real-mushrooms-and-cream kind that you have with a good steak - aromatic, full of umami, and warming all the way through. And, if you add some cubes, psychedelic as hell. The soup freezes perfectly, and its psychedelic quality is maintained with no apparent loss of potency.  Because I wanted to have dose control, I made a batch of regular Cream of Portobello soup, and then dosed a measured portion of it. I started out with this basic recipe for the main kettle:  half a pound of good butter; I use Kerrygold. You taste it in this. three pounds of baby portobello mushrooms, rough chopped. Regular white mushrooms are also fine, but the color is a little more appealing with the baby bellas. 2 onions, chopped about half a fist of garlic, run through the press a quart of beef stock a quart of whole cream dried thyme - probably a tablespoon, but I just add until it tastes rig...

I am going to post the recipe portion of this morning's trip, and then work on the actual trip report later, because DAMN, it was a doozie. There's a lot. A LOT. It will be hours of figuring out, editing together the narratives and linking up what I want to say, and I have things that need doing around the house. But I want to get the duxelles recipe up on the page, because it was FREAKING DELICIOUS, and I want to share it with some friends muy pronto.  The basics:  100 grams wet cubes. I used Albino Stargazers from Nichy Myco's Market .  150 grams button mushrooms. This could easily be oysters or shiitakes, but there were button mushrooms in the crisper. I wanted the bulk, and the flavor.  Shallots. I used a big one that was really two stuck together. So much of this, is just "or as much as you feel like." Shallot is better than regular onion because it has a finer grain, and a more savory flavor. 2 cloves garlic 2 tablespoons or so of butter Whole cream, probabl...

Margarita de Loco

  Last night at a Mexican restaurant I had a drink called a margarita de coco. It was a margarita – lime, tequila… but then it had coconut cream and coconut rum, and the combination was this delicious creamy, citrusy bright beverage, in a glass rimmed with Tajin. This morning I decided to try following it with a mushroom recipe. I went with blended instead of serving it on the rocks; I think a rocks version would be just fine, but I’d need to remove the mushroom powder. It was DELICIOUS. I’ll try this again soon and take photos and write it up like a proper recipe. I started with three and a half grams of powdered albino stargazers, the juice of two small limes because they were small, although one large one would probably do. I put the powdered mushroom into the bottom of the citrus juicer and squeeze the juice so that it drips down into the powder. This seems to make it soak in better; the powdered mushroom can be difficult to wet. If you pour all the citrus juice in at once,...
