The weekend came so quickly and today is the continuation of the weekend's lazy vibe. I must admit that I just spent my weekend like a couch potato. That's not very ideal. But the weather was so huggable so I didn't resist hugging it while it last. Sunday supposed to be my day to fix my Vespa because it has been sleeping in the basement for more than 3 months already. My poor little Vespa ran out of gas and got flat tires. But the weather led me overslept so the plan was pushed to next weekend.
Although I spent my weekend just sleeping, I didn't completely end it with a 100% of laziness. Of course weekend will never be complete without whipping up a peculiar dish. One of the things that will make me drool over, is creating a cream-based dish with mushroom. It never fails to satisfy my palette in the most seductive way. There is something with the cream and the rubbery texture of mushroom that compliments when you have them together. The chewing and the swirling of your tongue is the most endearing part when savouring this new dish I have. I do hope you like it.

The combination I did is well articulated with the right choice of ingredients. The mushroom and the lime are the highlights! :D

Thanks for the suggestion. Although minced chicken is not really good for this dish. Maybe somehing like the beef stroganoff thing would be perfect. Esp in this case my intention is to mash it with the liver pate and basil to add texture to the creaminess of dish. The main highlight of this dish is the Shitake and lime :)
Interesting twist in this dish...
