Chicken of the Wood

"Chicken of the Wood" is the common name of Laetiporus, one of the edible mushroom. See the wiki references. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laetiporus
My friend found the full bodies of the mushroom at a nearby lake. They waited until bright orange before foraging. We cooked in garlic and olive oil with a handful of sliced onion. The texture is amazingly unique, unlike any other mushrooms' textures. It really almost has a meat texture. yummy!

Hispanic Bilingual Poetry Reading of Children & Childhood - sing/read

Lovely Poetry Reading
::left-right:: Readings, Poem translation by Gina Canepa. A Bilingual reading of poems from South America and song performances by Hugo Gonzalez. Singing and reading the joy and unfortunated childhood memories.
Every selected poems were beautifully read; lyrics through the singing are beautifully sang from the compassionate voice of Hugo Gonazlez. Part 1 was about the JOY and the innocent happiness of children. Part 2 reflected the dark and unfortunate time of some children. I was truly touched, disregard the fact the spanish is unknown to me.
