That sounds SO GOOD! I've never had such an animal before and am
wishing I had some mushrooms in the pantry. I wonder how soaked and
drained dried shiitakes would be?!

Chop those fine before adding them, and discard the stems. ;-)

I get the best use out of shitakes by powdering them in the blender
and putting them into a shaker container!

Hard boiled eggs are also wonderful chopped up into macaroni
and cheese, or mixed into pasta based cassaroles.

When I do rehydrate whole shitakes, I put them into a ziplock
bag filled with water, squeeze out all the air, then place the
bag into the 'frige for 24 hours or more.

Om is part of a meditation chant, but it's also an abbreviation of my
screen name. :-)

My "real" name is Kathleen
