trying to keep track of my life
man, it was almost worth it going through such a shitty experience to reap 2 weeks in alicante. what delightful and amazing memories. peaceful town, sweet people, no tourists, fresh fish, cheap wine. sigh.
that and burning man i would love to do again this year but that’s like 2 weeks of unpaid vacation again. hah.
onion lightly fried till transparent in some vegetable oil on medium, then mushrooms (white and portobello) sauteed with water, onion, and white wine and lots of thyme for about 20 minutes until water and white wine evaporated and mushrooms and everything got dark brown. salt & peppered in the middle.
served as a side to
shrimp (from frozen) cooked in a pat of butter, 4 cloves of garlic, and again some white wine for about 4-6 minutes until shrimp was red.
was DELICIOUS. mushrooms don’t look tasty but without realizing it i went for 2nds and 3rds and ate the entire (Very healthy) (especailly by my low low low standards) dish.
what’s cool is:
1 shrimp were costco frozen – EASY
2 mushrooms were on the old side – eg not good looking for a salad – but still good to eat. great use for them
3 i drizzled the garalic/butter/wine sauce from shrimp over mushrooms before “serving”, to myself, that is.
it was awesome.
