I loved the piece. But Danny, speak to me kindly about how to make cleaning mushrooms not a chore. What is your technique? It's the main reason I don't cook with them more often.
Honestly I know everyone says not to do this but I just rinse them off in a colander under running water and it’s fine! If you cook them hot enough the water goes away anyhow, I think fussily wiping them off individually is totally unnecessary
This is the most relatable power struggle I’ve ever read that involved mushrooms, leeks à la grecque, and ancient Macedonian succession politics. I laughed, nodded, and then felt a bit tender about the quiet ache underneath it all. The desire to be chosen and liked for wanting to be chosen — oof, too real. Anyway, please keep making goulash and pulling books off shelves. You're doing great.
The point about losing one family and so being tempted to try to secure the safest possible position in the second is one that I feel deeply. It's a neuroticism that feels good to hear someone else admit to. Thank you for this piece!
I have never opened a link so hard in my life
This may be the first time I actually want to read the author's personal thoughts and chatter before jumping to the actual recipe on a website!

Excellent recipe and commendable common sense answer re mushroom swabbing
I'm so excited you gave me permission to do this!
Do we live in the same house? I literally have all the ingredients for this mushroom stir fry on hand right now!
