I LOVE to cook!
I do enjoy cooking (and eating). This is a collection of recipes from some parties I've had. The only one I won't eventually put up here is my olde, secret family recipe for Beer Dip.
EAT HEARTY!

Marinated Mushrooms
"Glorious Vegetables in the Microwave."

4 lbs. medium-size fresh mushrooms, wiped clean
1 cup vegetable oil (olive oil works great)
2 cups white wine vinegar
1 tbsp chopped red onion
4 tbsp sugar
4 tbsp salt
1/2 tsp pressed garlic
1/2 tsp freshly ground white pepper
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
1/8 tsp dried oregano

Mix half the mushrooms (2 lbs) and all the rest of the ingredients in a 3-quart casserole. Cook in microwave on high power for 12 to 15 minutes, until liquid simmers, stirring twice. Let cool and marinate on counter for 30 minutes.

Use slotted spoon to remove marinated mushrooms, leaving liquid in casserole. Add second half of mushrooms. Repeat microwaving, cooking and cooling.

Store drained mushrooms covered in refrigerator for several weeks (personally, I don't like them after a week or so - they get gooshy and wrinkly).

Prep time: 30 minutes
Microwave time: 32 minutes
Marinating time: 1 hour
Makes 2 quarts.
