I only have one small injury on my ring finger from harvesting! And, you were right...cognac makes a nice addition to the cream sauce!

I've been a mushroom/clam/fish gather-guy but finally transcended into nettles! Thanks for the motivation, gotta try the gnocchi soon. I used Euell Gibbons method and threw them in rinsed with some butter in a pan. Fantastic!
