This is a recipe I am unfamiliar with though (i.e. the one you described).

It's something bf & I came up with for thanksgiving.  They went fast.

Post the recipe in the 'pie (Mycanid: Rhubarb Pie is a board in the Neighborhood where people share recipes). It's right next to the JB Factory of Doom!

The rhubarb pie near the JB factory of Doom eh? *heh heh*

Sounds like part of a solution to the clue card game:

Em with the rhubarb pie near the Factory of Doom!

Okay, okay ... I'm just carrying on here ... don't mind me. :D

It was Col. Mustard in the kitchen, with the maid.

*bounces back in*

I think I liked last year's Christmas concert better, but it was nice.

The choir practise and concerts are always at the Croatian Culture Club, and today Mama and the other people from the choir were more or less adopted as Honorary Croatians.
And I heard "Jingle Bells" in Croatian. *giggles and sings* Zvonici, zvonici... er... I don't remember the rest.

*eek!* Jingle Bells in CROATIAN?

Weird ... I thought that the [art of the world had a many centuries old cultural tradition of songs and such related to Christmas ... wonder why they had to import American "nonsense" per se? Hmm....

Ah well. Maybe not important.

Howdy Magpie! :)

I could see why ... :)

What sort of mushrooms did you use? Portabella? Shitake?

Usually creminis.  If just for ourselves, we'll get nice big portabellas.  The cheese mixture we use depends on what's in the fridge.  I'm particularly fond of goat cheese on the portabellas with some fresh herbs.

Goat cheese and herbs with portabella is a STUPENDOUS combo!

I like goat cheese myself ... is this home made stuff?

Hamsters?

Umm ... this must be an in-house joke that I am totally clueless about. ;)

Oh,  yes. We were having an off-color conversation about what you could do with hamsters, adorned with feathers.

EDITED 'cause what I meant was some of us laughed so hard we peed our pants.

Anyway ... they make home made goat cheese and it is GREAT. :)

I believe you, it sounds fantastic!  Alas, I make do with the offerings at Trader Joe's.

Better than nothing, I suppose. Trader Joe's DOES have a good selection of not so easy to find consolations and such - often stuff from other countries.

Trader Joes! *sobs* They said they would be opening up a store locally and they lied!

I miss that store.

BTW folks ... how I am doing with the postwhoring? ;)

Trader Joes has been threatening to open a store in 40 miles away Redding for a while now ... big talk ... I will believe it when I see it.

S'okay about the keyboards ... not quite what I meant :)

I think I learned a German version of Jingle Bells once (I'm Austrian). So why shouldn't there be a Croatian one?

I was also much amused when they announced "a traditional Croatian christmas carol" - which turned out to be "Silent Night" (written by an Austrian).
