Shitake mushrooms/nori/ other exotic foods

[Guest guest]

Recently Bernadette asked what kind of foods we veterans eat. I neglected

to mention the subject foods because I don't eat them every day, but do

imbibe at least once a month or so. IMHO, these exotic foods should be part

of every CRONIE's diet at least every now and then.

I get my exotic mushrooms and nori " dried " in a Chinese market. You can buy

in quantity this way, they keep forever, and they are cheaper. Shitakes

(and other exotic mushrooms), and nori have all kinds of disease fighting

properties as mentioned by Walford. I add them to soups and stews.

BTW I also find them delicious.
