Funghi
Elizabeth David 1951.
You never know what will spark another adventure. Rose is suddenly Hungry for Funghi…
Pretty but poisonous.
She goes in search of fungi in Beacon Hill Park…the first ones she finds are a nice size, but poisonous…

Yellow Bracket Fungus.
The next one wouldn’t fit in her Basket.

Prima Strada Pizza Oven.
Apparently it isn’t quite mushroom season around here. Rose takes her mushroom craving to Prima Strada Pizzeria.

Pizza de Funghi.
The Prima Strada mushroom pizza is the best ever!

Prima Strada Pizza Delivery.
Feeling magnanimous, Rose gets mini-pizzas for all the Quimper Hittys and carries them home on her Vespa!

I hope that Rose’s sisters were suitably thankful – delicious pizza scooted home while still hot – yum.
They were very thankful, and gobbled it up!
I had to laugh at that determined Hitty Rose! The pizza makes me hungry–must be time for breakfast.
Pizza for breakfast – yum…a favourite around here.
Mushrooms – my favorite. I see a lot of them in my garden usually growing on wet wood or in the grass, they look beautiful, but I dare not eat them. Love the picture of Rose under the Yellow Bracket Fungus. Nice of Rose to carry pizza for the girls. I need to get Bella to so something like that for her sisters. Thanks for sharing.
The Quimper Hittys were grateful recipients of Rose’s generous impulse!
I truly have a hankering for pizza now. What a wonderful story, perfectly illustrated!!
Thanks, and Prima Strada would be happy to satisfy your pizza craving, I’m sure!
