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!

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.

Love Locks, like "Letter to Juliet"

The movie, "Letter to Juliet" takes place in the city of Verona, Italy. If you have seen the movie, or have known about the ritual visit to Juliet's balcony, you are familiar with the love postings posted at the entry of Juliet's balcony. I found of series and chains of love locks around the city. With names of couples written on the locks, they are often found on the bridges.
