Delicious and makes me hungry thinking about it

Wow, Greg!

I just finished supper, and now you're making me hungry. This sounds like a real winner.

"Chop mushrooms and stems very fine "

By very fine, do you mean like a duxelle (sp?)? Or a bit coarser than that; sort of like a fine dice?

"Add the flower and...."

I thought I was the only one whose fingers tripped on their tongue. :>)
