My son told me about Chaga a few years ago, and I was making it regularly for quite awhile. Should start making it again. I used to buy it from a guy in northern Minnesota, where there's lots of birch trees. He's not terribly far from where we live, but always have him ship it.About a month ago, someone on another thread was going on and on about Chaga. According to them, it's a big deal in Minnesota
That was the first I'd ever heard of it.
Tonight we're having Tortellini Alfredo, which I cheat like heck on. I buy the 4-cheese tortellini from Costco, and some Bertolli (sp-?) Alfredo sauce. Then I cook and shred some chicken breasts and steam some broccoli and throw them in. Add a few herbs and seasonings, and top with Parmesan cheese. Hubs LOVES it, so I make it fairly often.
