The first time I made this I made it with Paul, when he lived with me, so I've had the recipe a lot longer than since 1998--I suspect that I probably kept a card or pamphlet or something for a few years, and didn't digitize it until 1998. I have made this at least once since we've been in Halifax though--you must have been there, since I seem to remember dealing with the mushroom issue.

Who exactly are you cooking for? So if you’ve had the recipe since 1998, and you’ve made it at least twice (once with vegetable broth and once with chicken broth), how come I’ve never had it?

Those monks are hip to brand-building. (And yet somehow they've missed the obvious "Beer for Jesus" slogan.) Yes, it’s very similar… except that it specifically calls for Chimay!

Hmmm. Come to think of it, I have a package of Portobellos in the fridge. Now I know what's for dinner tonight. Thanks!
