Hi All, Thanks for all the comments on peeling mushrooms. Except for old ones I have now peeled my last mushroom <VBG>. I even bought a mushroom brush today (I was in the hardware store and it appeared right in front of me). Anything to make cooking a little faster is much appreciated!
Regarding Perfectionism- I think it serves no useful purpose. I try to strive for perfect only when I'm making lace and then I know there is really no such thing as perfect so I do the best I can. I can't remember if my mother peeled mushrooms or not. It just seemed like what my family would have done so there is no rut there. I know my mother peeled the carrots before cooking them. That I stopped doing after I met DH and found out not everybody does. I just give them a scrub. Actually he would like some peels left on the potatoes when I mash them but I usually forget and peel them completely. He's a good DH though because he just wants his dinner and doesn't complain about what it is <VBG>. Jane in Vermont, USA where it got into the 40s today (5+C) and melted some of the snow.
