I had plans tonight ~ we'd bought some of those large Portabello mushrooms, which I like to fill with Alouette cheese and a bit of breadcrumbs and grill it low and slow until gooey. The weather is just getting nice enough to grill again, so I was pretty excited it!
The trouble was that instead of buying the Alouette cheese, I bought some Artichoke and Parmesan dip from Trader Joe's, which, when I got home and opened up, was heavy on the Artichoke and light on the cheese. It's not bad ~ and I am looking forward to it on chips, or even heated up and used as pasta sauce. But artichoke on mushroom wasn't really what I was going for.
I ended up tossing the mushrooms with a bit of Worcestershire Sauce and olive oil, and letting that soak in for about 20 minutes. Those went on the grill, which he watched over while I defrosted a bag of Trader Joe's grilled balsamic red onions and heated up a variety of left overs (Stovetop stuffing, spaghetti squash) and defrosted some hamburger buns (**wrap them in paper towel and microwave 10-15 seconds)
It was a bit of a mish-mash meal, overall. Everything was OK, but not great, and the meal was disjointed thanks to the leftovers. The Portabello mushrooms with red onions on top were messy but filling.
He had a side of his Wal-Mart Red Potato Salad (he's obsessed), which went with the burgers a bit better then the leftovers, at least.
