I've been doing lots of burritos and also lots of angel-hair pasta and red sauce, both of which are quite satisfying...but a microwave is just not the same!

You know, I bet you could make risotto in the microwave... It would take some practice, but I wouldn't be surprised if it worked quite well.

Johanna's amazing mushroom stew:

12 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 cups chopped onion
4 tbsp. butter
3 tbsp. flour
1 cup milk
1-2 tbsp. dill weed
1 tbsp. hungarian paprika
1 tbsp. tamari
1 tsp. salt
2 cups chicken stock or water
2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
fresh-ground black pepper (to taste)
.5 cup sour cream

saute` the onions in 2 tbsp. butter. salt lightly.

a few minutes later add the mushrooms, dill, *.5 cup* stock,
tamari and paprika.
cover and simmer 15 minutes.

melt remaining butter in a large saucepan. whisk in flour, and cook,
whisking, a few minutes.
add milk.
cook, stirring frequently, over low heat about 10 minutes: until thick.

stir in mushroom mixture and remaining stock, OR add some of the stock to
the roux to thin it before adding it to the mushrooms -- otherwise you
end up with little bits of roux floating in the soup.

cover and simmer 10-15 minutes.

just before serving add salt, pepper, lemon juice, sour cream and
(if desired) extra dill.

serves 4, if accompanying dinner, or 2 if for dinner.

either you've been caught in some sort of strange timewarp, or your computer's clock is way way off.

Oh, yeah. The computers at the College of Charleston always have very messed-up clocks, and I always forget to fix the time. Repaired!
