14 – Dessert Day! Who doesn't love dessert? Is a dessert a regular part of your evening meal, or more of a special occasion sort of thing? Or do you mostly indulge in dessert when you eat out? Do you have a favourite dessert to make? Do you have a favourite dessert to order when eating out?

I do like dessert, but usually would be overly full if I ate it after a meal. I prefer to have something a little sweet, either mid-morning with coffee or mid-afternoon without. Usually only a couple of times a week. I don't really have a favorite dessert to make, but I like using seasonal ingredients when I do make them. rhubarb and berries in the late spring/early summer, peaches in the mid to late summer, grapes, pumpkin, pecans, sweet potatoes in the fall, etc.

15 – Mushroom Day: Do you like mushrooms? Do you have a favourite type of mushroom? In what dishes are you most likely to use mushrooms?

I like mushrooms and east them a decent amount in the spring and fall; not so much in summer. I don't have a favorite, it just depends on what I am making. I use them in soups and stews, with potatoes and onion. A favorite dish is from "Six Seasons" Roasted mushrooms with gremolata.
