   Whatever kind of mushrooms you like, but NOT the canned ones.

10. 10

    Clean and slice the fresh mushrooms. (No hurry, just keep stirring the sauce off and on.) Saute the mushrooms in butter (however much butter your diet allows *L*) and garlic (either paste - if you know how to do it or powder) and salt to taste.
