Mushroom sloppy joes

The blog is starting to gain some steam. Thus far we have been visited by 20 countries (US, India, United Kingdom, Kuwait, Russia, South Africa, Germany, Malaysia, United States, Canada, Hong Kong, Nepal, Australia, Russia, Japan, India, Jamaica, Ireland, Cyprus, Turkey) and today alone has had more than 400 visitors. That's pretty amazing. I hope Ellie is selling more books because of this...she deserves it.

For lunch today we had mushroom sloppy joes. "Sloppy" and "mushroom" certainly belong in the title. Not really sure where the "joe" comes from.... At any rate, this was a decent version of a sloppy joe. I thought it lacked something...more vinegar maybe? less molasses? fewer mushrooms? I can't really put my finger on it. While it was definitely a tasty dish, it was a bit muddy to me.

I'll make this again and toy with the ingredients a bit. Probably do a little less mushroom, a little more vinegar and half as much molasses. I'd love to hear feedback from anyone else...

Buy the way, the cool and crisp shredded romaine salad was a nice accompaniment.
