Re-shake just before dressing > salad. ** Garlic Toast: Any bread can be toasted for this recipe. > While the cauliflower is grilling you can also toast the bread on > the grill if there is room. Allow several small pieces or one large > bread slice per person. You can also use your toaster. In a warm > (not hot) non-stick frying pan pour a thin layer of olive oil and > add either 1/2 teaspoon of fine dried garlic, or 1 teaspoon of > finely minced or pressed fresh garlic, and allow to infuse while > the flowers are grilling, stirring to disburse in oil. Keep an eye on > it, the pan should not be left unattended. When ready to serve, > use tongs to quickly dip one side of each piece of bread in the > hot oil, press 1-2 seconds and immediately lift and place on plates > oil side up. Pour any remaining oil either over the bread or into the > dressing jar just before shaking. > > FREEZING MUSHROOMS > I freeze button mushrooms. I don't wash them; don't even get them > wet. I cut off the stems, remove the top skin and slice them. Once > you do that much, they are basically cleaned to cook with. Then I > pack them into freezer bags dry and throw them in the freezer. If > I want to use them in soups, omelets, or whatever I just put a handful > of the slices in out of the bag. I've never had a problem with them. > ~jimarh > > MICHELLE'S FAVORITE TEA SANDWICH > I just thought that I would share this with you. > I hope you like it! ~Michelle > > Gorgonzola Pecan Sandwiches > > Ingredients: > Bread > Butter > Gorgonzola Cheese (Crumbled) > Pecans (Dry roasted) > Black Pepper > > Butter the bread.
