    I couldn't handle it in October.

    Agreed! I need fall - snow can wait until late November:)

    I tried the Fairlife coffee creamer for the first time this morning, and it's pretty good. It's not dairy free, but it is lactose free.

    I got some lactose free whole milk (or as we call it homo milk) for my coffee. It was awesome

    I ordered a larger costume for my son for Halloween so he can wear it over his coat

    And @forestfreek it looks like pretty soon you'll be the only area not in a modified stage 2

    @AliNouveau, yeah I just saw that on the news. The frustrating thing about that is when they only put the “hot spots” into shutdown, those residents just end up coming up to smaller towns and going out to our restaurants, etc anyway.
    But whatever. It is what it is at this point. I just go with the flow. Lol.

    This is the truth. I'm sure you guys have have all the cottagers up there from down here anyway. As long as things get under control. My mom's place had 2 positive cases today so cue lockdown

    Hello, all. 38 y/o here. Have seen some success with MFP in the past, especially when I’ve found some great, motivating people. Looking for a few more. Have recently gotten into cycling and am maybe looking for a few other cyclists. Anyone feel free to add me.

    Might go try to find mushrooms tomorrow.

    Looks like the group of "fast paddlers" is heading out Sunday. Might hop on that again.

    That leaves Monday for chores or some other adventure.

    Sure seems like it was a LONG week.

    Good morning from Denmark. Have a great weekend everyone. If anyone has successfully overcome late night binging, let me know how :)

    47 here; looking for motivation and support. Mainly motivation!! I need to continue where I left off prior to the "Rona". I managed to gain the weight that I worked so hard to lose due to "working from home". Lost all motivation during that time. It's time I get off my butt. Feeling so sluggish and no energy.

    As in actually forage for them? I'm always tempted as I love mushrooms and they look tasty but pretty sure I'd accidentally kill myself :D

    Have you ever tried IF?
    I find it very helpful for nighttime binging.

    Same. Coffee in hand and working (hard is debatable 😅😂).

    Apparently northern Ontario is getting a snow storm today. Seems early for significant snow. Luckily we're staying "warm" down where I am.

    Happy weekend everyone!!! Go do something fun

    There are some that are really easy to identify. I focus on those I can identify 100%. Sometimes I'll find something interesting; I'll put it in a separate paper sack in my little bucket/basket to keep it away from the others until I can try to key it out. In May, you can't mistake Morels for anything else. There's one or two mushrooms that look like Chanterelles, but they are really easy to tell apart if you pay attention. Lobster mushroom is also really easy. Then there's boletes; part of there identification is easy. There's a few species I look for. Cat's tongue is easy to identify, but not really worth collecting. Oyster is fairly easy. Sparassis can't be anything else. And then there's all the rest.

    If you learn ONE or maybe two you're looking for, then you can just look for them. Check them as you pick. I carry a paint brush I cut off some of the bristles to get the dirt out before they go in the basket. Then check each one again when you get home.

    Chicken of the Woods is pretty easy. I don't find them too often. Then there's some that have poisonous look-alike species. I avoid them.

    Today would normally be the Mt. Pisgah Mushroom Festival. First time in a decade I won't be volunteering because.... it's not happening. There's a virtual fest going on with lots of talks. I'm kind of interested, but I'm not going to sit in front of a screen all day!

    Me too. I'd starve to death or poison myself for sure :D I've never been more adventurous than blackberries and elderflowers, and one nettle soup that went very wrong. I'm very impressed though and the mushrooms look delicious.
