What was I thinking? They looked so pretty, sitting there at the grocery store, their perfect brown caps awaiting the culinary possibilities, and I drooled over the ways I could cook them. Stuffed? Sauteed? Grilled?What part of giant mushrooms did I think they'd like? One look at the delicate slices sauteed with garlic and sweet onions in olive oil and it was as if a sudden stomach flu had struck. No one would touch them.

ReplyDeleteYUM.

Oh bother.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I feel like just leaving a big box of cereal out with a sign saying 'go for it' and never serving children a meal again.
But I don't.
Yet.
I just love mushrooms. Lots and lots of them in Germany.
ReplyDeleteTry adding them to soup. They are a bit disgused then. I love mushrooms too. If you are interested here is a recipe where I used a mushroom close to a Portobello. My kids liked it!

ReplyDeleteHello, Indiana Jane sent me.
ReplyDeleteThe mushrooms sound good to me! After 16 years of marriage to my dear husband I still sometimes come up with meals that are appetizing only to me. It is disapointing when I want to share my enjoyment with my family.
I'm glad no one was ill for real though!
That leaves more for the rest of us! Yay!
ReplyDeleteOh ... I love portobello mushrooms ... but my son ... thinks they are the "ickiest things ever"
ReplyDeleteSIgh
Oh man, wish I was at dinner at your house! I would have eaten them. Silly children. Fungi are delicious!
