\> So when my friend suggested a mushroom hunt, and I jumped in without question, I found myself actually looking forward to it. I even started wondering if I still hated mushrooms. It turned out that the hiking and searching and walking and talking were great fun. The hours flew by. We didn't find the morels we were ostensibly looking for, but I learned what Pheasant Back Mushrooms (Dryad's Saddle) are and how to cook them. And that I liked them. I got caught up with a friend I'd become disconnected from and realized I should have stayed in touch. With a lot of people. This paragraph was surprisingly touching. Beautiful. Thanks. --- **Source:** [https://brettterpstra.com/6dc28366-4208-11e9-9d31-040140774501](https://brettterpstra.com/6dc28366-4208-11e9-9d31-040140774501) **Snapshot:** 2026-04-25T20:42:21Z **Generator:** Remarkbox `b35c136`
