Hello again!
I recently felt that I should apologise to my poor family, who were momentarily deprived of toast, when I broke the toaster, or so it seemed. Nothing is, as yet, proven. Toasters are bizarre machines. It amazes me that we would invent something for the sole purpose of changing the consistency of our bread.And I agree, it does make it taste good and make the butter melt- a definite improvement- but still, a little strange? Perhaps we should integrate them with something else.... oh no wait, that's a grill :)
Mushroom Recipe of the day: mushroom risotto. I don't like this, because, it smells. Oh well, at least it can be made from a packet, which makes it cheap and simple! Or you can make it fresh, which I imagine is much more enjoyable. And a good source of nutrients.
The 'shroom is leaving the room....

The 'Shroom, has entered the Room.
I suppose I should feel bad about not having posted for a while, but what would the point be? We all lead busy lives, I know that. 'Shrooms have gotta grow, you know.
Seems the only bit of exciting news around my end is the rising angst at students fees, which have been raised considerably. I have no opinion on these... although I will say, less students means less student recipes....
I'm feeling a little opinionless today, so I'll keep it short.
Mushroom Recipe of the Day: Mushroom Lasagne. Just like normal lasagne, but with mushrooms not meat. A good idea when you're serving lasagne to guests and you don't want your veggie friend to be left out. Also, not much different to making normal lasagne, I have been told.
The 'Shroom has left the Building (UhHuhHuh)

The 'Shroom is in the Room again.
I've been listening out on the radio to the strange reports from the House of Lords saying that the Lord's have been doing an all nighter, in the building. This seems weird to me, surely they could pick it up some other day? But what does appeal to me is the concept of hundreds of Upper Class People meandering about an official building in their jammies, snacking on jam sandwiches and generally behaving like young children, in between discussing the future of this country. I am so easily amused.
Still, nothing amuses me more than mixing weird things, so that brings me to Today's Mushroom Recipe: Mushroom Pots.
Despite this sounding like some kind of gardening thing, but apparently it's simple but looks extravagant, so it must be good for dinner parties when you have kids, or whatever. And when you're not trying to impress, this can be done with ready made Yorkshire puddings and cheese, which, according to my mushroom taster, is filling and has just the right amount of flavour, which I suppose is a matter of opinion, but anyway.

Wahey! It's a New Day!
The 'Shroom is back in the Room.
I figured that me keeping this is somewhat similar to me posting on Youtube, without the embaressment of the world seeing my face... I therefore take my imaginary hat off to all those Youtube vloggers, who can spontaneously think of interesting and upbeat things to post. I am not spontaneous. This will take me a long time to write. I therefore think I should have some sort of continuity, so I don't have to think of stuff all the time. And so, in my true sense of mushroominess, I have decided on this:
Mushroom Recipe of the Day: Mushroom Pizza.
I have been told, by a vaguely reliable source, that this is relatively quick, relatively easy and relatively cheap. I must conclude from this that it is a decent meal for a bunch of students? Apparently, however, it is even easier to pick up the phone and order one from Domino's, but hey, what would I know. Ready made pizza bases, tomato puree, cheese and mushrooms will, when put together, make a suitable vegetarian meal for friends and birds alike, depending on how much of it you eat. A word of advice, however: it doesn't taste so good when burned.

Well, yeah. There has to be a first, huh?
In advance, I apologise for the misleading name. I hate mushrooms. I don't really know how I acquired this name, but some how I did, and it kind of seemed to stick.
I decided to recognise the fact that I'm ordinary very quickly, so that nobody is under any delusion that I'm somebody famous in disguise, which, I know, is unlikely... Instead, I would like to recognise that, despite being an ordinary person like most people on this planet, I am of course special and talented and not at all big headed. Some of that may have been a lie. Maybe the first bit. Oh well.
Something else that is important to recognise is that I use ... a lot at the moment- it seems to be some kind of schtick I'm stuck in (and yes, that was unintentional rhyme), and that I will always ignore Google Chrome, which tells me I spell half my words wrong, because it is an American Internet Explorer, and I'm not.
But before I do the excessively big headed thing of spouting all my life's achievements (which I now won't do at all, having realised I just wrote that...), I would like to say, in conclusion, that I don't like talking about myself too much- I find it boring. I already know everything I say, and- trust me on this one- I doubt if anybody else is interested. But hey, I'm an optimist. And that, people, is the best thing you can say for yourself.
