  1. Your mushroom and balsamic sauce recipe sounds great. I can’t wait to try it. I love that it’s your husband’s birthday request.

    I import a premium quality balsamic reduction – Mandarano Balsamic Glaze & Sauce – made from an award-winning 400-year old Modena family recipe. All the works been done for you – it’s ready to use. As you appreciate good food and good balsamic, I thought you would be interested.

    Buon appetito,

    • Thank you for this suggestion! I love balsamic and use it so often – it’s the most used vinegar in our household!

  2. “Mushroom” describes a variety of gilled fungi, with or without stems, and the term is used even more generally, to describe both the fleshy fruiting bodies of some Ascomycota and the woody or leathery fruiting bodies of some Basidiomycota, depending upon the context of the word.
