I was organized! Well planned! Exercising Dicipline!
I made a meal plan. It wasn't fiddly, but it was full of delicious things. I went to the store to buy the required goods, to find they were out of flat mushrooms, tuna in springwater, and mince (Seriously, what supermarket runs out of ground cow?)
So I went to another supermarket, and found everything, but with one problem... I could only get flat Mushrooms in a big jewel box. I really wanted to make mushroom burgers for dinner and I was frustrated this was the second story I'd tried, so I bought the box.
The burgers were delicious. They used 2 out of 12 mushrooms. Said 'shrooms aren't useful in the remaining dishes. So what can I do with 'em before they go off?
I was thinking making a duxelle, then freezing it for use later, but I'm not sure how well duxelle freezes. Mushroom gravy is possible except I have no pan drippings, and I can't really freeze them whole as I suspect they won't survive the proceedure.
Any ideas?
