This is partially thanks to Joey, who sent me a recipoo for pastry crust.
Fry mushrooms in a dry non-stick pan until they’ve thrown off their moisture. Add a splash of wine and cook that out, too.
Meanwhile, cut 10 TBS cold butter (I used butter-flavored Crisco) into 1 cup flour and 1/4 tsp salt. Mix in 1/3 ice water with a fork. Roll it out very thin. Cut it into as many pieces as you want pies.
Divide the mushrooms between the crust pieces.
I topped each lump of mushrooms with a bit of the Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese our #4 Daughter gave us.
Fold each piece together and press.
Bake at 350F for as long as it takes. I don’t remember. I think it was an hour, but maybe not.
The stuff on the side is colcannon, also known as leftover mashed potatoes and cabbage bunged in together.
I’m posting today at Fatal Foodies about Cheater’s Lentil Soup.
I posted yesterday at The Write Type about using birthdays as characterization, plot points, and/or block-breaker.
A WRITING PROMPT FROM ME TO YOU: Somebody uses an ingredient or material given by someone else.

January 22, 2019 at 8:25amI know. The older I get, the more my recipes are like medieval cookery books: Take a lump of butter the size of a hen’s egg and as much milk as you will….

January 22, 2019 at 7:43amThis sounds and looks delicious to me. My kind of recipe, sort of structured but with leeway to adapt and bake your own way!

January 22, 2019 at 8:28amRight! I like strict instructions and exact measurements the first time I make a recipe. After that, it’s just a guideline.

You thought you would hide the TOP secret recipe by merely telling us to “cook it for as long as it takes….”
How do you know that some poor fans might not experiment?
I may not, but others will go off half baked, and others more, may be well done!
(Yes, I am QUITE insane~! Bwaaa Haaa ha Ha!)

January 22, 2019 at 4:38pmI LIKE Crackers.
I AM Crackers!
I’m like Nixon’s dog. He was Checkers, and I am Crackers!
And I would have soup with that, as it is -24C right now!
So I would NEEEEED the Crackers!
