I made this on the spur of the moment for my sister when she came out to California many years ago. She asked me what it was called and I quickly came up with the name of a Pacific Paradise Cocktail. Shared and MM by Judi M. Phelps. jphelps@slip.net or jphelps@best.com Discussion : [ ] Interesting combo. Is Midori a Japanese brandy? [Judimae] No. Midori is a melon-flavored liqueur. It is on the sweet side. It's great with any type of melon especially honeydew. Formatted for MasterCook by Hallie.

* Exported from MasterCook * Cheese-Stuffed Mushrooms Recipe By : Adapted from Fun Foods Serving Size : 36 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : FareShare Chat 76 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1/4 pound Roquefort cheese 3 ounces cream cheese -- softened 2 tablespoons butter -- softened 2 tablespoons onion -- grated 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 26 medium fresh mushroom caps -- * Parsley -- or Paprika -- for garnish * Remove stems and save for other use. Cream cheeses and butter until smooth. Stir in onion and Worcestershire. Mound mixture with a spoon into mushroom caps or pipe in with a pastry bag fitted with a large star tube. Garnish with parsley or paprika. (I usually use a little of each). Judi's Note: If you wish, you can poach the mushrooms in a little boiling lemon water for 3 or 4 minutes to get rid of the raw mushroom taste. Make sure you drain and chill before stuffing. This makes 36 appetizer mushrooms. Source : Adapted recipe from Fun Foods, The Junior League of Greater Lakeland, Florida. Shared and MM by Judi M. Phelps. jphelps@slip.net or jphelps@best.com Discussion : [ ] How do you think Stilton would work there in place of Roquefort, Judi? [Judimae] Oh just great! Even gorgonzola cheese. [ ] I wonder what that would be like if a person placed the stuffed mushies on the BBQ grill for a few minutes? [Judimae] The rooms might burn on the bottom, not sure. [ ] Or under the broiler then? Just for a moment. [Judimae] I think you have better control over that one. Yes, I bet it would enhance the flavor of the cheese if it is only for just a little bit.

Top each bowl with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream. Garnish with onions or chives. Source : The Whole World Cookbook, 101 Productions Shared and MM by Judi M. Phelps. jphelps@slip.net or jphelps@best.com Discussion : [ ] I assume you could use pretty well any summer squash? [Judimae] Oh sure, you can use a combination of pattypan, zucchini, long green alone or combination. Some of them of course may take a little longer to cook that's all. [ ] True, but probably no longer than it would take to make the rice tender. [Judimae] Yes, of course. Just a little longer. [Judimae] Do you guys get a pear-shaped summer squash? It has a slightly tougher skin, but if you cook it a few minutes longer it comes out just as tender. In Louisiana it's called an alligator squash. Why I don't know. [ ] Oh, for sure, Judi. We picked chayotte wild in Hawaii, before we ever knew what they were called. LOL [Judimae] That's it. Chayote squash. Formatted for MasterCook by Hallie.
