smoking mushrooms

By anders pearson 23 Jan 2002

since i finally got the package my mom mailed with my cookbooks, i decided to try out a recipe. tonight for dinner i made grilled mushrooms. basically just a few mushrooms marinated in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, basil, and pepper and then broiled.

<p>it came out absolutely delicious. </p>

<p>unfortunately, i realized the hard way that i probably should have looked in the oven before i turned the broiler on. since i&#8217;d never even so much as opened the oven door since moving into my apartment, i had failed to notice that the previous occupants had kindly left me a backing pan complete with about half an inch of burned on&#8230; stuff&#8230; that made for a nice apartment full of smoke soon after i started broiling my mushrooms.</p>

<p>in other news, i apparently don&#8217;t have any smoke detectors in my apartment&#8230;</p>
