Bountiful Mushroom Bisque w/ Creme Fraiche
A lovely mushroom soup worthy of Pennsylvania winters - you could even savor a bowl near a crackling fire while gazing out on a silvery gray landscape worthy of a Wyeth painting ... perhaps one of the gorgeous sycamore that overlooked the Gilpin house at Brandywine Battlefield when it was visited by General Lafayette and was still there in my teen years when I gave tourists tours of the house. RIP majestic tree.
