Tomorrow night. The recipe sits on my kitchen counter right at this moment. The pizza idea sounds like it would be a big hit. I just have to lie about what the mushrooms are. Ya think he'd buy little bits of cheese?

Kids. Kids and mushrooms (in my experience) are rarely a happy combination--especially after they learn what fungus is.

Anyone got any good sauce recipes? Something, perhaps that won't clog my arteries?

Sorry, you can't have it both ways! Pick one or the other!

Patrock, please refer to Packers4ever's last post. That is a great list. I'd like to try the tahini sauce as soon as I figure out what a tahini is! But the sqash sauce looks intriguing. It's a use for squash I hadn't thought of.

HAHA! thats true my son, even though he is only 1 won't eat mushrooms. maybe if you cut them up very small they won't notice. tell them it is pieces of meat. (boy is it okay to lie to your kids to get them to eat things?)

Making steaks. Any ideas for the other half of the mushrooms? Otherwise I will invent something and let you know later if it works.

chicken vino bianco is a bad ass meal. So good!

[MJZiggy]

Then try this. The day after you make it, grill a filet mignon. Take the leftovers from the bianco and do the recipe almost the same (without the chicken and without measuring so carefully). Cook the garlic and some onion, then toss in some tomato and mushroom, pour in some wine, cream, and parsley. It has an amazing flavor to go with the steak and only takes a couple of minutes to prepare. Serve with a side of wild rice and vegetable (we had peas). It was wonderful.

zig, i like the flavor of mushrooms. i usually just saute them in butter with a few onions. pretty simple.

Speaking of mushrooms, my inlaws own some land in Murrel country. I had my first taste of Murrell mushrooms this spring and they were out of this world good. No wonder why they sell for for 15 dollars a pound.
