Mmmm...what's cooking?

Bacon is sizzling in the oven, mushrooms are simmering on the stove and it smells soooo good in here I just wanna cuss!!! Shit, damn, hell! Tool is yammering on about The Pot on slacker radio, Tex is crashed on his daybed/windowseat. It's pizza & salad night, yo!

Above: 3 pkgs of Cremini Mushrooms

Cremini shrooms were on sale for 69 cents! I thought I'd go ahead and cook these & freeze in small batches for steaks & whatnot, then go back to get another batch to do up for cream of mushroom soup! Still too hot outside, but it's a comin' around the corner!

Did you know that Cremini mushrooms are just the middlemen of the white and portabella mushroom varieties?  It's all the same, just cultivated at different stages in their development...and they taste a little different, depending on what stage they are presented to you. The white ones sat right next to these for $1.59, so...yeah!

Did you also know the world's favorite fungi was once considered 'peasant' food? Seems odd to someone like myself who grew up seeing them more as a delicacy, but this was only because my mother is a mycophobe...she doesn't like the texture, or the smell, much less the taste which is how I got spaghetti sauce on the ceiling once, a story for another day.

I'm floundering. I've been writing all day. Me no write no good no more.
