    I don't mind sacrificing a little tenderness for flavour.  :smile:

     

    I usually saute with bacon and butter. 

    I agree; great combination; I like to add garlic, too. After sauteing... you can add a TBS or 2 of flour and stir-fry everything a few minutes, until the flour is no longer raw (making a roux). Then, whisk in 1-2 cups of beef or chicken broth (some people add cream +/or sherry, too). After it comes to a simmer, you've got a great, thick, gravy/sauce.

    PS- Fresh mushrooms don't have leathery skins.

    Tell me if I was wrong no problem.  I have never had a problem with this in a sportsbar here.

     

    Went to Retox this morning on Lengkee to watch the world series.  About the second inning ordered the 99 b breakfast.

    Still watching the game in the 7th inning and the lady manager kicks me out saying my seat is for customers only.  The place was about 1/3 full.  I was doing nothing wrong but just sitting.

     

    I will never go back to the place but will ask; should I have ordered a coffee or something more to justify my existence in that seat?

     

    Thanks

    I would have...
