I won't go into it, but let's just say that I'm considering traveling back in time to the Stone Age so I don't have to worry about computers or anything like them for a very, very long time... But while I dream of gathering my dinner from the forest, I'll use my very modern oven to create the uber-party appetizer that I love to make when times are tough, is so quick to put together and almost everyone enjoys (except for fungi phobes). I give you - the Stuffed Mushroom!
Warm oven to 350 degrees. Brush dirt off and stem a box of BUTTON MUSHROOMS. Combine a good cupful of store-bought or homemade BREAD CRUMBS and enough PESTO so the filling is smooth, but a bit chunky. Toss mushrooms with OLIVE OIL, fill with pesto and place on baking sheet. Bake in oven for 15 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is slightly brown on top. Tell your partygoers to enjoy with a dry white wine and to toss their computers (or at least mine) out the window. Fun!
If I have a bit of extra time, I'll pop a pine nut on top of the filling before throwing them in the oven. A more indulgent filling is crumbled blue cheese, topped with a halved walnut or pecan. Also, try some chopped roasted red peppers with a small dollop of goat cheese added after baking.
