    I was browsing Food Gawker and saw your photo and had to stop by and say hello because I recognized the plate. We have those plates and eat off them every night. I have never seen anyone else with them, so I had to pop by. 🙂 I'm glad I did…your photos are stunning.

    Oh dear, those mushrooms just want to be cooked themselves, so appetizing! Did you pick it or it's a store bought? Beautiful! 🙂
