wine and mushrooms

This recipe doesn't really go with the theme of this blog, but I'm posting it anyway because I like it, and because there's not a whole lot of posting going on in general.

Today I won $5 on a scratch off lotto ticket. That's a free bottle of wine! (I'm cheap with my wine). Because I had this free bottle of wine and I was feeling good about winning the lottery, I decided to treat myself to my favorite easy yet delicious and could maybe pass and fancy thing to eat.

you need: mushrooms, red wine, butter.

cook the mushrooms in a frying pan for a little bit. try to get most of the water out of them.
throw in a bunch of butter, melt.
pour in a bunch of red wine.
cook until the red wine reduces into a kind of glaze type texture.
eat.

and oh my gosh they are so delicious. they don't even taste like mushrooms anymore. they're just like mushroom textured flavor explosions of wine and butter. and if you use portobellos, it is even kind of fancy and could pass as a legitimate side dish if you wanted to impress.

bonus! you have a whole bottle of wine left over to enjoy.
