We went out to eat tonight. It was another frustrating day. The contractor
was supposed to show up (once again) to do the driveway and put in a new
toilet for us. But once again he didn't. He says he will be here tomorrow.
Oh joy!

I had some errands that I needed to run. I was going to do this stuff
tomorrow but since we will be sitting at home waiting, I decided to do them
today. So I just decided we should go out to eat. Which was a good thing
because by the time we got Angela registered for dance and donated things to
the food bank it was late! We had a case of apple juice in cute little
apple shaped bottles and another case of baked beans. Since Angela can't
have those any more, we decided to donate them. I figured I could work
single cans or packages of things into our diet but we'd never be able to
eat that whole case of beans given their carb count. Must go through the
cupboards and look for more things but want to get the toilet and driveway
taken care of first.

Anyway... She chose a veggie omelet for dinner. I never would have thought
she would chose that. It had broccoli, onions, peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms
and spinach in there. And she ate it all with no complaints. Even said she
didn't mind the mushrooms and the tomatoes were okay with cheese on them.
Normally when it comes to tomatoes she acts like my dad does when
encountering an unfamiliar spice. As in picking through it with her fork,
being careful to get every last bit out and wishing she had tweezers. But I
saw her put them in her mouth and she ATE them!

I've never really liked mushrooms. I can eat them in things and they don't
really bother me but I would never go out of my way for them. I could never
understand those people who love stuffed mushrooms. Just not my style.

So I think her tastes are changing. We also found a big can of individually
wrapped beef jerky sticks at the grocery store that don't contain wheat.
And a container of cooked, shredded chicken. They will be carrying it from
now on in the bagged salad section. Angela loves shredded chicken.

what great news, to answer your questions about the mushrooms, they are low
calorie and pick up the flavor of what they are stuffed with, easy to pick
up as in if they are stuffed and cooked correctly not sticky... i love most
mushrooms because of these two factors... alas, eat to many and the migraine
fairy visits me, Lee

I just find if they are raw they have no taste. And if they are cooked they
can get slimy.

i admit, cooking stuffed mushrooms properly, to me is a very learned skill,
my grandmother had the best way to me, she used a bit larger mushroom,
removed stems, sprayed with oil or wiped with butter, broiled to set then
stuff and return to broiler, quick is the point, Lee

I love mushrooms in any form, cooked, raw, stuffed, sauteed...... the
flavor and the texture are wonderful, as far as I am concerned.

I'm with you The first experience I had with mushrooms were canned
ones in sauce, how vile! I believe Kate likes them though But I just
love them any which way. Mushroom soup, yum, raw dipped in things like
ranch, hommus, salsa etc.

I don't think I ever had mushrooms as a child. We did have tuna casserole
with cream of miushroom soup. My brother would eat that but I don't think
he knew there were mushrooms in it. He hates mushrooms.

Canned mushroom soup was the quick ad dirty cream sauce for all kinds of
dishes. A work saver for fast meals and for some dishes, thought of as
fancy as it had a sauce. Quick chicken a la kind, left over soup chicken
adn canned pimento cut up into cram of mushroom soup. Lots of others liek
this. If you look at community cook books form the 50's 60's and 70's
they are full of this kind of dish. tuna cassroe, shrimp cassarole,
chicken sstuffed crepes, etc all with that soup. Fortunately it went out
of fashion.

Actually, reconstituted dried mushrooms don't give that squeek, slide
sensation. You might try some. Lookd for the little packages of pPolish
dried mushrooms. You might find them in stores tthat cater to tradiional
jewish cooks.

Oh ugh. That is one dish I just can not stomach. My husband's grandma said
it was his favorite but I don't know about that. He has never asked for it
at home or gotten it at a restaurant.

only use canned mushrooms in s'ghetti sauce as if you use fresh ones,
they turn out like the canned ones do

having said that, a few years back all the mushrooms started to be "Made
in China" and, well, i won't buy it

now i use fresh, locally grown mushrooms in the s'ghetti sauce

Not, IMHO, if you cook them properly. I always sautee them in olive oil and
a little butter over fairly high heat. First the mushrooms will release
their liquid, then it will evaporate and they will brown nicely. Mushrooms
cooked that way are completely different from mushrooms that are just put
into dishes raw, which have a texture that to me is distinctly off-putting.
Like canned mushrooms. Yuck. But to each his own.

ohhhhhhhh

i didn't know about this trick. Mom always just tossed the mushrooms
into the sauce (the mushroom farm was 'right there' and we could buy
mushrooms cheaply).

I have to agree on the texture issue.

Could he be trying to avoid offending you, by never asking for it
in your sight?

I did point it out to him once when it was a special on some restaurant's
menu. He gave me a funny look for pointing it out and I reminded him that
Mamam (that's what they called her) said it was his favorite. He just got a
dumb look on his face like he didn't know what I was talking about. Now it
may well be that of the things SHE cooked it was his favorite. She did tell
me that she didn't really cook and took as many shortcuts as she could.
Like making instant mashed potatoes.
