King oysters, woodears, shiitakes, enoki and beech. If you're a fan of gourmet mushrooms, you'd be familiar with those names.
Last Monday marked the first ever gathering of the Washingtonian Gourmet Association (WGA) at Seven Seas Restaurant. Approximately 20 people gathered to hear Seven Seas' owner Edward Shen discuss the nutritional value of locally farmed mushrooms. He also demonstrated how to use them in every day cooking. Guests were then treated to a seven-course sampling of mushroom dishes cooked in a variety of styles.

Spare a Thought to the Natural Disaster Victims in Japan
As the Cherry Blossom Festival kicks off, let us be enamored by the beauty of these transient flower trees that were a gift from the mayor of Tokyo as a symbol of friendship in 1912.
