Mushroom Hater or Lover?

I am keeping it simple tonight, but I was just in heaven with this salad and thought I would share my joy!
It was so simple since Mr. George Foreman (the other man in my life) grilled me up some portobello mushrooms to feast on with carrots, tomato, romaine, spicy brown mustard and a roll that I threw together. The roll was dense, chewy and full of whole grain goodness! My favorite kind of bread!
The mushrooms were juicy and delicious!  I loved the spicy mustard as the dressing! Is it weird I like the burn that shoots up through your nose when you eat spicy mustard...never mind...I think I just answered my own question.

So, mushroom hater or lover? I think you know what I am!

Have a great night!  We are watching more My So Called Life tonight!

    I love mushrooms on pizza or in pasta sauce! I also love portabella mushroom "burgers." But I don't really care too much for them raw on salads... I'll eat them, but just don't care for 'em all that much.

    BIG mushroom lover. I love bellas. Had some tonight in my stuffed peppers. I also love the shoot of heat from spicy stuff...especially wasabi.

    I'm LEARNING to enjoy mushrooms. Innately, they sort of freak me out. But I'll definitely eat them, and I'm trying to cook with them more. I think it's mostly canned button mushrooms - like on pizza that really freak me out. I do like portabellos and shitakes.

    I looove a good portabella :) and you just gave me an idea for my next one, waiting oh-so-patiently in the fridge...never would have thought to put it on the george foreman! And that roll looks heavenly - how can you describe it like that and leave us all hanging here recipeless?!

    I like button and portobello mushrooms, but that's really it.

    Every time I hear a 30 Seconds to Mars song playing, I imagine that Jordan Catalano is singing. It's so weird that Jared Leto is now the singer of a band. He will always be Jordan Catalano to me.

    last post...you have so much going on in your life right now..hugs to you and your family

    shrooms..i like them but i never make them. Raw foodies "cook" them with just an oil/vinegar bath but i have never done that yet...I want to just to have a hearty easy no cook dinner..but i do love grilled p'bellos. Again, dont own a grill and no plans for a foreman, went thru that craze about 10 yrs ago and gave it away LOL

    and your comment re dairy in things it doesnt need to be in, on my last post, amen sister!

    I never ate mushrooms growing up because my parents don't cook with them but I married a mushroom lover and was quickly (and happily) converted! :)
