  1. MMMMMMMMMMM! I loved this and have had it in my cookbook for a long time. I will be honest and say that I didnt chill it for 1 hour. I was too hungry. But this was still amazing. Thanks so much Evelyn! This is a do-over recipe!
     
  2. What a great salad! My only complaint is that the servings are so small...guess I'll have to make a double batch next time. I used green onions instead of chives; I thought they tasted good in this. Thanks for posting this, Evelyn.
     
  3. I'm a big fan of mushrooms and I just loved this. Best of all, it can be whipped up in minutes! I really liked the idea of boiling the mushrooms for 1 minute; it gave them a nice texture...not cooked yet not raw. I used chopped scallions instead of the chives. I used whipping cream....I think half and half wouldn't cling as well. Thanx for sharing this recipe. It's a keeper that I'll make again!
     
  4. We enjoyed this! The sugar in this gives the mushrooms a nice sweetness. Some diced onions would be a nice addition to this. Thanks for the refreshing salad.

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
