There wasn’t much planned for the day, that being said, there hasn’t been much planned at all and we’ve ended up going on adventures every day. We were going for a walk and noticed that Josef’s friend Alan was home. He invited us in and offered us some Moravian cherry wine that a friend had made at home. It’s essentially wine and cherries that had been distilled and concentrated until it was about 50% alcohol. It almost tasted like cherry Nyquil, but without that awful medicine taste. It reminded me of something that a Polish friend had made once. It was very good. The glasses kept getting refilled and I had an enjoyable afternoon getting drunk and wondering what everyone was talking about.
By the time we left, the little store was closed and Josef and I decided to take our half-drunk asses up into the forest to see if we could forage for some mushrooms. The task was harder than it sounded because the combination of the alcohol and the heat made for a very slow going up the hills. We did manage to find a few mushrooms. I got to see the large flat white mushroom that he was talking about. It makes for good schnitzel. Unfortunately, we only found a small one that was flat, and another one that was only half opened. The few mushrooms we had (and the large half opened one) got chopped up and put into a pan with some onion and egg. It was a tasty meal!
