You'll need a few white button mushrooms at least an inch in diameter.  Cut off the stems and scoop out the ribs under the cap.  Saute a minced onion with a little parsley and rosemary in butter.  Chop the mushroom stems and add to the onion and continue to saute.  Meanwhile saute the mushroom tops in butter on low heat in a covered pan turning frequently until just cooked through.   Add bread crumbs, salt, grated provolone (or other good cheese, be creative) to the sauteed onions and mushroom stems.  Fill the mushroom caps with with the onion mixture.  Toast until the cheese melts.

Pumpkin Stew

Cut pumpkin in half and scoop out seeds.  Lay halves skin up on a baking sheet with about a quarter inch of water.  Bake at 350F until tender (20 min to a half hour depending on the size of the pumpkin). 

Meanwhile saute a chopped onion or two with a couple minced garlic cloves.

Cool pumpkin, remove skin and chop into on inch squares.  

Place the pumpkin and onions in a stew pot and add water to about an inch over the top of the pumpkin.  Add a bay leaf, four or five tablespoons of coriander, a teaspoon of turmeric, and salt to taste.  Cook until thick and stew-like.  Add water as necessary.  Add a hand full of chopped dried tomatos in the last fifteen minutes or so.

Garnish with lemon or lime slices and sour cream or plain yogurt.   Serve with a good crusty bread.

Pumpkin Seeds

Wash pumpkin seeds and dry in towel.  Arrange on a baking sheet and toast at low heat for twenty to thirty minutes.  Sprinkle with salt.  You can add:  cinnamon, allspice, curry, or coriander.  Like sunflower seeds they take forever to eat, but they're good.

YES, praise Jesus!!!

...Uh... I mean... Thank you so much!! Lol.

Well, it's quite easy.

You need cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, boiled eggs*, peppers*, onion*, salt and oil*.

So, notch the vegetables and the boiled eggs to whatever shape you like to fit for a salad and put them into a tin and add the seasoning.
And here's a note regarding the items with an asterisk:

* Boiled eggs - their number depends on how big the salad is. If I make a salad for myself, I usually make it in a large tin capable of holding about 3 kilograms of this salad because I eat enough for 2 soldiers. For those 3 kilograms I usually boil 6 eggs.
* Peppers - I prefer roasted red peppers (non-spicy) but if you like spicy peppers, you can always replace that with any type of peppers to match your taste.
* Onion - half an onion is quite enough but I for one prefer to first fry it before putting it into the salad. However, in the winter, when I'm usually sick of pneumonia, I don't cook it, so that it can heal my throat faster.
* Oil - regular sunflower oil or... that Greek type of oil that they make from olives. I can't remember what the word was for that oil.

In principle this is a salad for carnivorous creatures but the best part of the salad is that if you take the meat out, it becomes a vegetarian salad. It normally has a few more items to add but I skipped them for you.

Wonderful. Bless your heart!

Here's one more recipe for you from my country, since you're so kind - unlike the most of the believers I've ever talked to or met. And because I think you're hot.

Ingredients:
A large pot capable of holding 6 liters (which is about 1.5 gallons, I think), 3 juicy cucumbers (or more, if they're too thin), 3 yoghurts, 1-2 cloves of garlic and 2-3 blades of dill, sunflower oil (olive oil will ruin the recipe in this case) and 6-7 pinches of salt.
Peel and grate or notch the cucumbers, shake the 3 yoghurts* and pour them in the pot, finely chop the dill and the garlic and pour them in there as well. If the yoghurt you have poured is equal to 1.5 liters, then the water you must add is exactly the same quantity. After the water add the oil and the salt. Stir all that finely and if necessary add more salt - until your tongue starts feeling at least a little of the taste of the salt.
If the yoghurt has been kept in cold place (but not frozen), then the cold soup will be ready to eat immediately. If not, put in the fridge for an hour or two and then eat it.

* It's imperative to shake the yoghurts finely. If you don't and then pour them with the cold water in the pot, the yoghurt will become ball-shaped. So either shake manually, or use this machine that I have no idea what its name is in English:



In the end, this is what the cold soup would look like:

Haha, you are too sweet! Thank you so much for the compliment and for the recipe.

I love ethnic foods by the way. What country are you from?

Bulgaria.

Awesome! Every time I think of Bulgaria I think of Victor Krum, the Bulgarian character from Harry Potter. I love me some Harry Potter!

Well, that's not the only movie with something Bulgarian. On "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies" when Thorin comes to his senses and prepares to engage Sauron's armies he yells "Pobeda" in Bulgarian which means "Victory". That and at the beginning of the movie (between 48th and 49th minute of it) there's another "Pobeda" yelling.

Oh, thanks for the reputation comment!

Oh, interesting! I never knew that.

And it was well deserved, my friend!

I agree with you but it will never work.  (Hint: you're both women.)  

Happy I could straighten you out.

If it didn't work and you decide to try it anyway .. pictures or it never happened!

1. If your agenda is to insult me, I'll just report your post, add you to the enemies list, and you go and hate as much as you like.

2. Are you blind?
