Mushaboom

I once dated a guy who put mushrooms on EVERYTHING. His relationship with this tasty fungus was definitely stronger than the one between he and I. Although we didn't work out romantically, he taught me a thing or two about cooking with his favorite ingredient. For example, when sauteed with garlic and onion, crimini mushrooms add a smokey flavor to whatever they are paired with. I made a quick and tasty dish with this in mind before going out last night. Hope you enjoy it, and remember -- great tips come from unexpected sources :)
