Thanksgiving Dinner 2006 Recap

Mushroom Bisque: This was lovely. Jeremy was a little resistant to the idea of soup at first, but after tasting it, he decided it was the best soup he’s had in a long time. I liked it also. Made with 8 oz of chopped cremini mushrooms, and a package each of fresh shiitakes and oysters, [...]
