I had some rather elderly button mushrooms in the fridge. I sliced
them fairly thin, sweated them down and browned them in butter, with
salt, pepper, and a shot of Worcestershire sauce.
I had a likewise senescent portion of an onion, which I sliced thinly.
When the mushrooms were done, I squeezed them against the side of the
pan to release some of the butter and moved them into a storage bowl.
Then I sweated and browned the onion in the remaining butter, with
additional salt and pepper. The volume of onion was about equal
to the volume of mushrooms; I mixed them together.
I'll put a spoonful on a burger today at lunch.
The remainder will be stored until perhaps Friday, when I'll put it
on toast, top it with Gruyere cheese and melt the cheese on top.
Perhaps I'll spread the toast with a thin schmear of Dijon mustard,
for brightness.
Now I'm just waiting for my husband to come in from the workshop
and throw a wobbler because I created the odor of mushrooms in
the house.

experimenting one day i put a couple splashes of sherry liquor
in some fried mushrooms and onions and it worked really well.

"throw a wobbler"? like when my wife and i were newlyweds and she
had a tendency to throw things at me during heated arguments and
miss? replacing borken telephones gets expensive when you're barely
making ends meet to begin with. of course money was the root of
most of them. :P

He doesn't like mushrooms. He doesn't like their odor, even
raw. Mrs. Cindy usually gets all the ones from his Chinese
food. ;)

We are having leftovers for supper tonight too. My wife is using the
leftover chicken from Sunday to make chicken divan. Lunch was also
leftover based because we had chicken noodle soup also made from that
Sunday night chicken.

Not sure I understand that. I am still dealing with my strange on and
off relationship with mushrooms. I never cared much for them when I was
a kid but learned to like them when I was older. They were a must with
a grilled steak. A year or so ago I lost interest in them. They are
okay on a pizza or in a braised dish but not sauteed with a steak.

Just pass those unwanted and unloved mushrooms this way.

"Throw a wobbler" is British slang for "pitch a fit". I picked it
up from reading Terry Pratchett.

Let's send thought and prayers that she finds him in time to roll him
over onto this back so he will be more comfortable.

I'm 99% sure your husband doesn't actually throw things at you if he
smells mushrooms cooking in the kitchen. :)

They are a good diet food because you can eat all the raw mushrooms you
want and get almost no nutrition in them. There is some potassium in
them, a minimal amount of Vitamin C and B6, a trace of Magnesium and
calcium. The need some sort of fat to cook them in and you probably get
more nutrition from that than the mushrooms themselves. Hell, you would >probably glean more tradition from the shit they use to grow the mushrooms.

I make that fairly often. It's great on baked potatoes and good over
beef too.
