Sometimes Simple Is Better

Supper, Friday December 27, 2019: stuffed mushrooms (baby bellas, goat cheese, paprika, salt).

Whatever you decide to put in them stuffed mushrooms are a sublime treat. Crab, crab and cheese, spinach and cheese. . . They are all good. They are not difficult. Mix up the stuffing, mush it in there, bake. 

Most recipes call for a little short of a dozen ingredients, many of them just spices, so they really are not a burden. Despite that I wasn't in the mood. I had surplus mushrooms, and a lot of goat cheese. Both of them can go bad quickly, so I decided to use them together. The two most important things that started me on this path were: I had a lot of goat cheese so filler (breadcrumbs) was not necessary; Alexis really likes goat cheese. 

Wash and stem the caps.

Sprinkle with a little salt

Mush in a ball of cheese.

Sprinkle with paprika (or cayenne, or tarragon, or. . .).

Bake.

Das it.

We did have other stuff for dinner but it all paled in comparison.
