Saturday 5th May, 2012 was a rainy and quite cool day. Not much to do outside in Kemiö, therefore JD (my beloved husband) and I decided to go to Salo for some shopping. There's a marvellous shoe shop you can't miss,
Zapato, selling beautiful Italian shoes and recently more and more clothes as well. So JD went to look at grills while I spent an hour trying on dozens of shoes. Unfortunately, no shoes of my size (41) that I would fell in love with right away, but couldn't leave the shop without buying a black jacked with smocked sleeves.
In the afternoon, the rain stopped and I went to check the beach.It looked ugly: some strange foam had landed the coast. Can it be nitrogen from fertilizers flowing to the sea from the fields? Or just foam caused by strong wind...
I had planned to make parsnip (palsternakka) puree for dinner and luckily the first
lovage (lipstikka) had grown big enough to season the puree.

In addition, I made some steaks (from organic grown beef) and for the sauce I found a box of
funghi porcini (herkkutatti) in the freezer. I fried some mild onions in butter, added the mushrooms and poored some cream and let them cook for 15 minutes. The sauce tasted perfect - thanks to a spoonful of Sherry Oloroso. We had a fairly good dinner.
On Sunday, it was a great sunny day and you got a feeling that summer is finally coming. I had a long walk with Nordic sticks in the surrounding forests, keeping the eyes to the ground in case the first
gyromitra esculenta mushrooms (korvasieni) had popped up. None yet.
