Grouse Cooked In Creamy Wild Mushroom Soup

I think I understand the longstanding love affair hunters have with cream of mushroom soup. I have it on good authority that one evening, sometime about the dawn of time, a bunch of hunters brought home a bunch of birds, and the gatherer/cook in the cave said, “I am not cooking those smelly birds for you tonight!” The guys looked blank and thought, “What now?” Then some semblance of a light bulb went on in the brain of the smartest one. “Canned mushroom soup must be just as good as her fresh mushroom soup. Let’s give it a try.” The boys were so pleased that they had come up with a recipe all on their own they decided to use “canned” exclusively and never asked the gatherer to make fresh again.

Day's End - IN PRAISE OF FENCEROWS

Driving north along the Hudson River, I gazed at a pastoral autumn scene: sere fields of faded yellow harvested corn, stubbly and broken amongst the clods of black earth, almost smooth from my vantage point. Spiky brown veins of wild growth marked barriers between plots. Occasionally, the gray bones of a mature oak rose among the brown shrubs to stand over the yellow fields. A sentry, keeping silent watch as white frost crystals slowly melted into invisibility.
