They are the same thing.<br /><br />Mesclun comes from the French word mescla which means to mix from what I remember from high school French many, many years ago.<br /><br />Sorry from the confusion<br /><br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-7130842448470440512009-11-07T00:08:55.018-05:002009-11-07T00:08:55.018-05:00What is mesclun mix?What is mesclun mix?Oraphanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03998145117245769730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-10504650718722628392009-11-06T23:08:27.602-05:002009-11-06T23:08:27.602-05:00Oraphan,

We also buy all the other things you listed plus the organic baby spinach and mesclun mix.<br /><br />I didn't see brown Calrose tonight at Wegman's. It is on my Asian market list now. <br /><br />Enjoy your weekend and I will talk to you again soon. <br /><br />Have a great weekend,<br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-25545975219856988422009-11-06T21:12:55.592-05:002009-11-06T21:12:55.592-05:00I usually don't go to Costco that often, maybe...I usually don't go to Costco that often, maybe about once or twice a month and I don't buy a lot. I usually get 25 lbs bag of Calrose white rice (I buy Calrose brown rice from Albertsons, Vons (Safeway), Ralphs, Asian or Japanese markets (I don't think we have Wegman's here), dates, tofu, apples, mangos, bananas, almonds, walnuts.I think it's Shitake dried mushrooms that I got from Costco, oh! I like to buy fresh mushrooms there too but not all the time.<br />p.s. I might be too busy to visit your blog this weekend but I'll come back as soon as I get a chance.

Sometimes I want something light and this was perfect for me. <br /><br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-66386275951448332672009-11-06T10:50:47.227-05:002009-11-06T10:50:47.227-05:00This look so good!This look so good!Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16006562924010658931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-76163251852639175202009-11-06T09:16:52.938-05:002009-11-06T09:16:52.938-05:00Oraphan,
I am so glad you like the sound of this ...Oraphan,<br /><br />I am so glad you like the sound of this soup. I love light brothy soups like this. <br /><br />Mushrooms are the best aren't they? We belong to Costco too. Are you referring to the Gourmet Dried Mushroom mix from Costco? I buy one of those everytime I go to Costco so I don't run out. I think I have three in the pantry now.<br /><br />When I was a child I didn't like mushrooms either so your son may still come around. I have read before that just by cooking a food often you are making the aroma very familar to your child and that increases the probably that they will enjoy it later in life. So keep cooking those mushroom. :)<br /><br />I grew up eating canned mushrooms but don't buy them much anymore just because I try to avoid things in cans when I can. Additionally I think the texture is a little off, although not to the extent of some canned foods.<br /><br />You have never tried long grain brown rice. Wow. Long grain basmati used to be all I bought but then again I make a lot of Indian food so basmati is sort of a requirement. <br /><br />Where do you get your Calrose rice? That is a type of rice I have't had. I will definitely look for it when I get to Wegman's later today or tomorrow. Thanks for the tip.<br /><br />talk to you soon,<br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-54228209446566490612009-11-06T02:16:19.079-05:002009-11-06T02:16:19.079-05:00That sounds like my kind of food!

I don't cook mushroom very often though because my son doesn't eat them. I like to buy a big bag of dried mushroom at Costco and cook just for myself and my husband once in a while. What do you think about canned mushrooms, I used to stock a LOT of them in my cupboard.<br />p.s. I've never bought long grain brown rice, I always buy Calrose short grain.Oraphanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03998145117245769730noreply@blogger.com
