Do you know that Portabella mushrooms are actually just the regular white
button mushrooms you can buy much more cheaply right next to the Portabella
mushrooms for a fraction of the price?  They've just been allowed to grow
to full size.

I just want to sing the praises of these delicious Portobella
mushrooms.  Those who have not tried them should do so.  These
are *not* just your ordinary mushrooms.  Fried in olive oil, they
taste almost like tender steak.

Or try this:  Fry some sliced portobella mushrooms in olive oil,
with or without garlic, according to your preference.  Then place
them into a blow, drizzle some more olive oil on them and add a
generous splash of lime juice and a pinch of thyme.  Refrigerate
them for an hour or two and then eat cold.  They taste wonderful,
and this is a good way to suck up some monounsaturated fat, since
the mushrooms absorb the olive oil very well.
