I’m the cook in our family, and I decided to make some stuffed mushrooms for a Thanksgiving appetizer.
Naturally, I had to start with the right foundation… very large mushrooms. They couldn’t be difficult for my guests to find, by being made of “Flash”, or images.
Then I had to make the content for the mushrooms…the stuffing. I took equal amounts of onions, green, red and yellow bell peppers and a little garlic, and lighty browned them all in a ton of butter, and added some seasonings nearly everyone would like, such as salt, pepper, sage and a bit of hot sauce.
There weren’t “niche” mushrooms, and I wanted them to appeal to the widest variety of end user, so after the ingredients were cooked, I just added some cooked sausage and a little chicken broth, and let it simmer for another 10 minutes.
Once done, I drained most of the liquid, and added some Italian breadcrumbs , and then put in some crumbled bleu cheese to give it some originality, and make it my own. After all, I couldn’t just have duplicate content in my mushrooms, could I?
After mixing it up real well, I pulled the stems off, and spooned the mixture into each mushroom, packing them firmly with ingredients. These mushrooms were definitely not lacking in content, and had a lot to offer.
I didn’t want to make my guests work any harder than necessary, so I arranged the mushrooms in a logical order on the cookie sheet, so that my visitors could instantly see what the pan had to offer.
Just like with a website, the final step was to wait, so I put it in the oven for about 20 minutes while it came out of the sandbox, and in practically no time, my table was filled with stuffed mushrooms ranked #1 in the SLURPS.
