Merlot Mushrooms

Let me tell you that from Friday at 300pm when I picked up my child until last night at 800pm my child's lips never stopped flapping - How is that even possible? Don't answer that, I know the answer.





Being 3 1/2 means you can run at 100mph and sleep 12 hours everyday (and all your bills are paid!!!!)...Is that not every mid thirties ladies dream? It happens to be mine these days.





Also she gets to ride a scooter and those things are darn fun. She also gets to try new things everyday of her life right now...Remember those days? Not me, my memory is shot due to lack of motivation and illegal substances. (Consider that confession number 2 for the year)





Just this weekend Indigo got to try some food she has never ever ever tried before. She tried things like angel food cake, fresh whipped cream, manicotti, and juicy fruit bubble gum (staple in moms diet).





What did mom try that was new? I actually have some!!! I got to try standing for 9 hours straight while preparing a fabulous 4 course meal, a new vampire flick (6 outta 10 from me), and Merlot soaked mushrooms...dear lord...you must try them!





Ingredients (Serves 4-6)
Delightfully borrowed from PW
{FULL Printable Recipe}

2 pounds White Button Mushrooms
1 stick Butter
1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 liter Merlot Wine
1/2 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1 cups Boiling Water
2 whole Chicken Bouillon Cubes
2 whole Beef Bouillon Cubes
1/2 teaspoon Dill Seed
4 cloves Garlic, Peeled
Salt for taste





Directions

Thoroughly wash the mushrooms and throw them into a large stockpot. Add all the remaining ingredients except the salt. Stir to combine.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for five hours.





Remove the lid, then continue cooking, uncovered, for two hours.

Add salt to taste at the end if desired.   Also drink the other half liter of Merlot if desired, in case you needed a reminder.

PS - I halved PW's recipe, and altered the cooking time slightly.  For the true recipe use hers....9 hours of glorious simmering means heaven.
