They Liked It...
No need to hop a train to Boston (though I'd love to see Robin!) ... Danny, Susie and Lisa liked my mushroom dish!
I mean, how can you not like a dish that is just three kinds of mushrooms and some protein? Oh, and a bit of celery?
Danny ate a big bowl of it. I was happy. He's not the kind of person who would pretend to like something he didn't really like. He opened the container and pointed at various ingredients asking what they were. Danny California, meet Quorn Tenders. And eggwhites. He had lots of questions about how you make eggwhites. I may need to take him shopping for a glass pan to microwave them in. First he said, "So you just take eggs and separate them?" Oh heavens no, said the girls, nearly in chorus. The miracle of the Eggwhite Carton was disclosed to the anarchist. I even have some coupons that I picked up at the gym for All Whites. "Sounds racist," I said, "But it's just eggwhites."
The girls also loved the mushrooms. I've now decided to fix them all dinner on Wednesday: portabella pumpkin pizzas! I love having new people to cook for. Not that I'll neglect MR of course.
580 calories between three people. I told Danny that I didn't believe he could consume the volume of an MR meal. "You've never seen me at the Indian buffet," he said. He's willing to take on the challenge, so I may at some point make him a genuine low calorie, high volume, stuff you full of veggies MR meal. And see if he survives.

*Of course* they liked it.
You can't go wrong with mushrooms. Mmm, mushrooms.
My personal favorites are shiitakes but I also love to throw some enoki mushrooms into a broth to make a nice soup on a cold winter day.
Hey, come on up to Boston anytime! You're always welcome.
