I'm making Ox Cheeks, pressure cooked, in the Instant Pot. Normally I make them with red wine and slow cook them, but Maria at Feistytapas.com posted a recipe for pressure cooked in Guinnes. I thought I'd try it.
I realised, too late, that I didn't have any mushrooms. I couldn't dfind the pot of dried muahrooms, which was puzzling.
I then found I was out of Knorr Mushroom Stock Pots. I did have some Geo Watkins Mushroom Ketchup, which was nothing like ketchup, so I thought I'd use that. While I was getting some paprika out of the spice cupboard, I remembered that I had used the entire tub of dried mushrooms to make something called Magic Mushroom Powder.
I can't for the life of me remember what recipe it was for, I can't remember what ws in it even. I found the pot, and put it on the worktop. I put the Mushroom Ketchup back in the cupboard. I'd pulled lots of things out of the dried foods cupboard, in search of the original mushrooms, so I started putting them back.
And then something fell out, hit the Magic Mushroom Powder (MMP) pot, smashed the jar on the floor, and I had glass and MMP everywhere.
The kittens came to investigate, and I had to shoo them away while carefully sweeping everything up with a foam broom. It's surprising how far glass travels.
Mushroom Ketchup it is, then.
