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!

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. 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.
