Portabello Mushrooms, “Bella Bellos”

by

And for dinner tonight . . .

2 portobello mushrooms
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp soy sauce.

  1. Optionally slice mushrooms.
  2. Mix other ingredients together and let the mushrooms marinate for 10 minutes.
  3. Pour mix into wok or frying pan, and saute for 10-15 minutes until mushrooms are tender (but not too tender) and browned.

This is a great recipe, and the mushrooms’ meaty quality makes them very satisfying.  You can use chopped mushrooms in a wrap, eat it like a steak, or put it on a bun.

Note that if you ‘scale up’ you don’t need to double the marinade if you double the amount of mushrooms – though if you’re not chopping them you can usually only cook 2 at a time.

Twitter: The Bullets and The Trigger

by

Twitter posts can be bullets, each one striking precisely.  Solid, pointed ideas that hit hard.

Twitter can also be the trigger, launching a post to a new website or some vital piece of knowledge that changes everything.

So when do you need bullets – and when do you need a trigger?
