I started making this but forgot that I hadn't bought mushrooms so I decided to make it anyway. I can only imagine the mushrooms probably made the flavor a bit different but could only be an improvement. Very good sauce. I made 2 8x8's and gave one away to a good friend of mine whose 9 year old son gobbled it down. My husband, who is NOT a white sauce fan, also loved it. Said for a white sauce, it was very, very good. I could even spice it up more for him by adding some hot sauce to it and not really change the taste of the recipe so much.

Hello Everyone
After a couple of years of using many, many recipes off this wonderful web-site, I finally decided to sign on. I am a retired widow living in the St. Petersburg area of Florida. I grew up in Minnesota and lived 30 years in the Boston area before moving to Florida 17 years ago. I was a commercial real estate broker. After my husband passed away I switched gears and became a cruise agent (it was a tough job, but somebody has to do it-LOL). I really enjoyed the traveling and meeting many new people. I have 3 children and 6 grandchildren and I am very fortunate that they live in this area and I get to see them often. My favorite pastimes are reading, walking (usually with my dog), and cooking. My pet peeve is crabby people!
