Last night Mia and I went on a little night-time expedition to catch this chicken (Laetiporus Sulphureusakachicken of the woods)! We were on the water for the last light, and when we paddled back, the stars were amazing!
This was very much a spontaneous adventure - we’d just finished a weights session at the local canoe club and decided to go fetch the mushroom I’d seen on one of my paddles a couple of days earlier. It is very much past its prime for eating, in case you’re wondering.
I was paddling my old slalom kayak, my sister Mia was in a club white water boat. I drove us as close to the river as I could get.
It took close to five hours to sort, clean and blanch all this - it’s in the freezer now and will last for years.
I love how this ordinary evening turned into something I will always remember. This is why my car is so messy: i need to be prepared for adventure at all times.
