What a difficult time I'm having finding a new side dish
to add to our collection of usual dinner accompaniments. The glazed
onion recipe I mentioned in my first article was a flop, earning only two
measly stars on our rating scale. Then I twice tried a wonderful
broccoli casserole dish that simply refused to cook properly. It
was a great broccoli and cheese mixture that I imagine would be a keeper,
if I could just figure out the right measurements. Obviously, the
recipe measurements aren't quite right. The dish was still tasty,
but it wasn't done enough. I am assuming the four eggs and the cup
and a half of milk is just too much liquid. I attempted yet another
side dish this week, but I had no luck with this one either. The
dish is called Mushrooms Supreme, but let me tell you, it was far from
supreme in our book. It sure did look good, and the ingredients sounded
palatable. The prepared dish was visually appealing, but that's about
all it had going for it. It had an overpowering tangy taste to it
that became sickening about halfway through a serving of the stuff.
After the first few bites, my husband gave it two stars; however, a few
more bites of it, and he dropped the rating to one star. I give it
two stars, so we'll say it's a one and a half. When I asked my husband
for more detailed comments of the dish after dinner, he couldn't help me
because he said just the thought of it made him want to gag. Allrighty
then. Please, if you have any great vegetable side dish recipes,
send them my way!
