Bob, you are a hero around this household! The stuffed mushrooms were
the best I've ever eaten. Everything that can be wrong with stuffed
mushrooms - filling is mushy or flavroless, mushrooms are hot but
watery, muchrooms are wrunked beyond belief - did not happen. I
followed your recipe pretty close, subbing chardonnay fr the sherry and
using half bread, half cracker crumbs. I also brushed them with a
garlic-infused olive oil rather than making a paste, mostly because I
had some handy and it was a timesaver. (I tripled it, BTW - found a
dozen nice fat caps, served 3 apicec to us, 2 to my daughter, and saved
the remaining 4 for lunch today) Stuffing used a combo of oyster and
shiitake. Had a wonderful earthy flavor.

We had the appetizers and then the soup course along with a bottle of
red wine. Then we paused for the champagne and dessert course. An hour
or so later, appetite revitalized, we had entrees and then sweets.
Skipped coffee and liquiers- we were tipsy enough to be tired by that
point.

A wonderful, incredible, romantic, memorable evening. And one more to
come after our restaurtant celebration this weekend.

Nancy, what recpies are you iterested in? happy to post anything. It
all turned uot just like I wanted it. The soup had an incredible flavor
- and apparently the oysters did their trick pretty quickly......
