The mushrooms beckoned.
Chop a few onions from the garden and some garlic. Saute in bacon drippings until soft and aromatic. Add mushrooms chopped fine. Cook slowly until there is little moisture in the pan. Add some coconut milk, chicken stock and a bay leaf. Simmer for a bit. Add some of the following mashed (potatoes, turnip and carrots). Heat thru. Done!
The kitchen smelled wonderful.
