Spring water from Stanley Spring on Turkey Mtn. Nothing but water! 😋View attachment 120972

When we lived in Minnesota, we had a nearby natural spring for water, and growing up a little over an hour west of where I am now (Ohio), we had one as well.

I’d forgotten that. I think I’m going to do a little digging (not literally!) and see if there’s one around where I live now.
 
I can remember going on "rambles" when I was a kid. No mountains anywhere near, but some fine chalk hills along the South Downs. We'd drink straight from the fresh springs along the way. How things have changed that now, natural spring water has a Government Warning!
 
I went to two places yesterday morning. The first, an Italian deli where I bought 2 lts olive oil, white wine vinegar and Grana Padano cheese. I also bought some black garlic, because my wife saw a recipe in tik tok (or something like that) and I've never used it.
The second was the supermarket, where I got some lovely peaches for jam-making and fresh Borlotti beans. I think they're probably my favourite bean. Saturday or Sunday, I'll make some pasta e fagioli with them.
The bottle at the back (on the right) is buttermilk, for making pancakes and Andean hot sauce!

I've used it in place of mushrooms when I needed to make a dish where a very mushroom allergic person was going to be eating. Made a pretty decent substitute.

Don't remember off hand what else we've used them for, but they are a great ingredient.
