very gourmet tonight

A few weeks ago I went to Napa and we had dinner at a diner and I had a delicious mushroom sandwich. The mushrooms were so succulent, I loved it.

So last night I happened to be getting some more cherries at a Clement St. produce shop and they had these good looking portabello mushrooms right by the register, like impulse buys, so I bought one.

I made a marinade of:

barbeque sauce
ketchup
soy sauce (San J brand low sodium, no msg)
blueberry preserves (Dalfour)
little water
a chopped garlic clove
I don't think there was anything else..

I marinated it overnight because I was hungry, so I had a yam and a really good red pepper hummus (added more cinnamon and nutmeg this time - it's delish!)

So tonight I baked the mushroom for 15 minutes in the toaster over, cooked a few small white potatoes and mixed them with the honey mustard, and chopped up a fresh tomato. It's a really yummy mix. I'm having it with some cherries on the side.

I love summer! How can Phillip not like summer? What is wrong with that boy!?
