October 2008's Menu: Country Fried Steak with Chanterelles

There's a reason why Steven and I periodically return to comfort food - it's delicious!  And, our country fried steak is pure comfort food. 

Tonight we're preparing the following recipe with some of the first chanterelles of the year.   They're firm and beautiful - how can we resist such a temptation? 

 

We've also used our home grown shitake for this recipe.
They're a delicious alternative to chanterelles!

Puffballs could work well in this dish.
