More fruits! More vegetables!

#51-57:

The local Fred Meyer had canned sliced shiitake mushrooms available alongside the button mushrooms I usually get, so I got a can and tried them out in a stir-fry recipe. I don't think it really worked. Saving the other can to go in a soup, where I think they'll work better.

In another experiment, the SO got to pick a stir-fry vegetable mix out and came home with one that includes red cabbage, kale, and Brussels sprouts. I don't think I've ever had Brussels sprouts before. I also think "red cabbage" is a bit of a misnomer. It's more purple (and it was turning the yakisoba noodles blue).

I made a batch of Irish stew with purple potatoes (did not find out the exact variety).

Then I made a blackberry pie with the same lower-sugar recipe as the blueberry one.

Also I got some dried cranberries to snack on.

Master list here.

I try Brussels sprouts every couple of years, just to be sure. And so far I've never had reason to change my original opinion : everything I don't like about ordinary green cabbage, compressed.
