LSH 2 - Quick and easy mushrooms

We had a bag of mushrooms that we weren't able to use. It has been over a week since we bought it and I said to Malou the other night I will take care of them tonight. I asked her to wash them before hand before I got home. This is what I eventually ended up doing:

Ingredients:
1 container of washed mushrooms chopped
three cloves of garlic chopped (or more depending how much you like garlic)
a pat of butter
orange juice (no pulp)
salt and pepper to taste

1. Heat your pan and add butter. Make sure it coats the bottom of the pan.
2. Add garlic and let brown.
3. Add mushrooms stirring the entire pan occasionally.
4. Season mushrooms with salt and pepper.
4. Add a bit of orange juice. Now how much orange juice you ask? That depends on how much liquid you want in your pan. I think I added about 1/16 of a cup just enough so that the mushrooms don't dry out. Remember that mushrooms give up a lot of liquid so don't over do it or you might end up with a sour mushroom soup!

If you have anything to add or would just like to comment, feel free!

It's been three weeks...

... since that glorious Wednesday morning when I woke up and realized, today is THE day. We have been thinking, planning, arguing, resolving, and finally accepting what our wedding day was going to be like. Ahh, yes, we are going to be man and wife today. I remember after taking a bath, I open the card Malou gave to me during breakfast. It was a lovely card and really made me appreciate the day even more. And boy what a day it was.

Three weeks have passed and we are still trying to get used to calling each other wife or husband. We went to our local parish earlier in the day to register. We have gone grocery shopping a couple of times already. We even went out the other day and bought our dining table! I still feel a little heady with everything that is going on right now. No rush anyway as we have our entire lives to spend with each other.
