\"Mushroom<\/p>\n

I've been feeling a bit out of touch with the world, lately. It's very unlike me to not keep up with the news, but lately when Derek asks me to brief him on world happenings (as is our usual way of BOTH being up on the news), I have nothing to report! Clearly the world is not devoid of news... I've just been skimming past news articles without absorbing information lately.<\/p>\n

\"Mushroom<\/p>\n

Yesterday, I decided that it needs to change! After reading the Economist thoroughly through college, and the New York Times up until last year, I'm jumping back into the \"I read the newspaper\" world. I went back to the New York Times, and signed up yesterday! Woohoo! I plan to be much more informed from here on out - as I like it, and is probably the responsible thing for me to do. I'm still partially struggling with the time aspect: I know I could spend all day pouring through the nytimes website, reading article after blog after editorial, but there is this thing called LIFE. and WORK. I think that's the reason, perhaps, I cancelled my subscription last year to begin with. Here's to managing our time responsibly, right? Right!<\/p>\n

\"Mushroom<\/p>\n

This casserole made me feel really responsible, too. Weird segue? Roll with it. Maybe it's just the word \"casserole\" that throws me off - it seems like something from the 1960's that maybe has little to no flavor. Or definitely a can of cream of mushroom soup. I'm pretty much wholeheartedly against cream of ANYTHING soup, especially from a can. All this to say, I was really skeptical of thing casserole... was it even going to taste good??<\/p>\n

\"Mushroom<\/p>\n

I was pleasantly surprised to find that it tasted AMAZING. No joke, I was blown away by the flavor here. With the caramelized onions and mushrooms, then the flavors from the stock, mixed with all these other goodies (gruyere and crushed red pepper!), it was impossible to stop eating. I even got Derek to eat it, more than once, and he REALLY doesn't like mushrooms (or so he claims). WIN. Next up: coconut. {ha! like that will every happen.}<\/p>\n
