  • Quote

    Thousands of years before Christianity, secret cults arose which worshipped the sacred mushroom—the Amanita Muscaria—which, for various reasons (including its shape and power as a drug) came to be regarded as a symbol of God on earth.When the secrets of the cult had to be written down, it was done in the form of codes hidden in folk tales.This is the basic origin of the stories in the New Testament. They are a literary device to spread the rites and rules of mushroom worship to the faithful.

    In the winter of 1968, Kya sat at her kitchen table one morning, sweeping orange and pink watercolors across paper, creating the plump form of a mushroom. She had finished her book on seabirds and now worked on a guide to mushrooms. Already had plans for another on butterflies and moths.Black-eyed peas, red onions, and salt ham boiled in the old dented pot on the woodstove, which she still preferred to the new range. Especially in winter.

    Mushrooms were the roses in the garden of that unseen world, because the real mushroom plant was underground. The parts you could see - what most people called a mushroom - was just a brief apparition. A cloud flower.

    I boiled potatoes until they were hot and fluffy...... and then kneaded in diced mushrooms, which are fibrous and soak up fat easily.Then I wrapped the whole mixture up in thick-cut bacon and set it to roast!The heat caused the fat to render out of the bacon, leaving its crispy and crunchy...... while the potatoes soaked up every last drop of the savory pork fat!Crispy on the outside...... juicy on the inside.Together they create a savory and sensual taste experience
