We might get along. I make green mole or use the tomatillo salsa verde (sadly, I don't make that myself, too many ingredients) with my chicken enchiladas suizas and make kick ass chili. I had to look up the mushroom duxelles (sounds heavenly on crostini). I make beef stroganof with the same mix of mushrooms and shallot. Damn, now I'm hungry.

If you make the duxelle, don't waste time and effort making crostini...just buy phyllo cups, drop a dollop of duzelle into one, sprinkle with a little freshly grated parm, then pop them into the oven until the cheese melts.

the beauty of duxelle is you can make one huge batch at the beginning of the holiday season, then you're good for all the parties. just buy more phyllo cups and cheese, the duxelle freezes like a champ.

my chili recipe starts with "cube 5lbs round steak into 1 to 1-1/2 inch cubes. flash saute on high heat in iron skillet with only salt and black pepper, no oil..."

and my enchiladas, "boil two whole chickens in large stock pot. reduce remaining broth to use as base for sauce..."

The Canadians I know are all anal. And if you must now, we use the term "Canadians" to refer to people of color around here. hahaha

of all the people from canada that I know (notice i didn't say canadians!) not a single one is anal. absolutely the contrary.
