Shiitake: Not A Four-Letter Word.

And so the two-year hiatus ends.

I love mushrooms, and because I do, my four-year old son now loves them too. In fact, his favorite pasta dish is fresh fetuccini with a cream-based sauce smothered with portobello mushrooms. Mmm.

And while I don't have the recipe to the said dish (we have to go to a restaurant for that one), I've recently whipped up a wonderful and healthy dish (an instant hit with both the boy and the Mrs.) that showcases the unbearable yumminess of the shiitake. Pair that with a pear, blue cheese and arugula salad, and you're bordering dangerously close to gastronomic heaven.

Here we go!
