Today, marks the very special occasion of the very first Annual International Mushroom Day…where mushrooms are eaten, as the slogan says, “For Breakfast, Lunch and Tea”.

It is a great day, for everyone (except those that do not like mushrooms) and hope the Australian Government moves to make this a sacred day by creating legislation, and thus banning all meat and other vegetables sales for every year on this day - the 7th of July.

My girlfriend and I had planned the following meals for consumption to mark the Mushroom Day:

* Breakfast: Fried mushroom on gas B.B.Q and toast.
* Lunch: Omelette with champignon’s and cheese
* Tea: Mushroom pie and mexican mushrooms and chilli sauce for dipping.

It was going to be a grand day! However, we woke to the phone - my girlfriend was called into work, and so our plans were dashed! We did not have time to prepare the breakfast menu and so we went without mushrooms in the morning.

She was meant to work till 5pm, and thus hindering our lunch plans. However, due to the power that is International Mushroom Day, she only had to work till 1pm…and so our luch menu progressed as normal. Hallelujah!

Tea was prepared and was consumed with great delight and optimisum…for this is a day that should be treasured and celebrated year in and year out.
