Welcome to Magic Coffeehouse! Come in, sit down, relax, get to know somebody!
The Magic Coffeehouse is an Overclan that acknowledges that we all are social creatures, and actually like to talk about various things with other people. Here, you can come in, get yourself some coffee, a cookie, or some cake, and just chat a bit with the people around us. And, unlike one of those coffeehouses down the street, this one doesn’t cost you anything! We promote a friendly atmosphere, and never turn down civil customers!
The Magic Coffeehouse was founded on April 19, 2006, by Arguas2617 and Omna15. It is an overclan that promotes friendly, spam-free discussion on a multitude of topics, while providing a comfortable circle of friends.
To join up with the Coffeehouse, merely post something about yourself that you’d like everyone to share, and perhaps talk about. We don’t like to make anyone feel isolated, as we are just looking for good friends tied together by the common thread of Magic. You can also post requests for drafts forming or start various other groupings of your choosing. Anyone can be a casual customer, but to be a Regular you must come around often, chat clearly and avoid spamming. We don't consider spam conversation, so join us for the real thing!

Shadowfox's Homemade Truffles! Arguas' Omelettes You should have:
Eggs
Frying Pan
Butter/something non-sticky for the pan
Heat Source (We'll use a range in this example)
Mixing Bowl (doesn't need to be huge)
Fork/Egg Beater
Spatula
Toppings (Suggestions include sausage, ham, bacon bits, cheese, spinach, broccoli flores)
Instructions
Set your cooking range to the lower end of the Medium setting.
Crack open 2 eggs into the mixing bowl, allowing the yolk and as much of the plasma as possible to flow into the bowl.
Rotate the fork or the beater to spread out the yolks of the egg until you have a fine yellow liquid.
Once the frying pan is warm, pour out the contents of the egg from the mixing bowl onto the frying pan. Try as hard as possible not to let it spread out too far unless you have a circular frying pan. Should that be the case, let it spread out in a circular fashion to the ends.
While the underside of the omelette cooks, apply your toppings to the side of the omelette which is not finished cooking. While you spread out the toppings, most often the Omelette will have successfully cooked at this point.
Use your spatula to fold the two sides of the omelette together upon itself, or if it is circular flip over one side of it onto the other, effectively folding it in half. Let it cook and then flip it over to the other side.
Press the omelette down a bit, letting some of the excess juices flow, and then cook.
Use the spatula to remove the omelette and serve.
SnoopDoggAtog (Starr)'s:
CANADIAN TERIYAKI TOFU
4 cups snow peas
4 cups cubed white button mushrooms or whole tiny button shrooms
4 cups chopped yellow onion
3-4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 8-oz extra firm tofu steaks, cubed and cubes rolled in flour spice mix
Toasted sesame seeds
Flour spice mix
1 cup wheat or corn flour
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp dried basil
Pinch salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
CANADIAN TERIYAKI SAUCE
1 tbsp (LOL 10 ml) maple syrup
1 tbsp (LOL 10 ml) rice vinegar or red wine vinegar
3 tbsp (LOL 30 ml) soy sauce
Pinch ground ginger
Pinch red chile powder
COOKING:
Heat vegetable oil in 16" wide or larger wok or deep skillet until a bit of onion dropped in starts sizzling briskly right away.
Add tofu, onion, garlic; stir fry for 1-2 minutes on high heat.
Add mushroom; stir fry for 5-10 minutes or until onions are translucent and mushrooms are starting to soften and brown.
Add snow peas and stir fry for 5-10 more minutes. Pods should be glistening and softly springy, but still green.
Pour in Canadian teriyaki sauce, stir, lower heat to medium, simmer for 5-10 more minutes or until mixture starts to become dry and cooked, whichever is first.
Salt to taste.
Remove from heat, garnish with toasted sesame seeds, and serve over steamed rice or with soba. 6-8 servings.
Photon's Almond-Crusted Parmesan Chicken
First of all, you'll need enough chicken breast to provide each person with a good 3 or 4 strips. I usually go with about 1 large chicken breast per person. You'll want to cut each breast (once thawed) up into equally sized strips of about an inch of thickness. Also, another alternative is to use chicken tenderloins. If you go with this option, I would suggest about 3-4 strips per person, depending on the relative size of your pieces.
Then, combine 1 part finely crushed almonds with 1 part grated parmesan cheese. I usually use between a cup and a cup and a half, if forced to measure. Season this mixture with a dash of sea salt (you only really need a tiny bit here, since the cheese has a lot of salt in it), and some freshly ground pepper.
Gently beat together two eggs and a fourth of a cup (give or take a little) of water together to form an eggwash. Dip your chicken in the egg, and then coat both sides evenly in the cheese-almond mixture. Place on a non-stick baking sheet, and then bake for about 15 minutes in a 425 degree oven. You'll want to keep an eye on it so that your almonds don't burn- burnt almonds have an awful taste and it will ruin the dish entirely. When finished, the coating should be crispy and slightly golden.
Garnish with slivered almonds and some fresh cilantro.
Dreia's Recipes: Crab Meat and Cheese (Ragoons) Ingredients: 8 ounces, softened 4 green onions, chopped or diced 1 can crab meat 2 teaspoons minced garlic 25 wonton wrappers (small bowl of water)
You’ll need a medium mixing bowl and a frying pan or deep fryer.
Directions: Combine cream cheese, green onions, crab meat, and garlic. Spoon some of the mixture onto a wonton wrapper. Dab water around the edges of the wrapper. Place another wrapper on top, and seal against the water. Fry until golden brown. Remove from frying and let set on paper towels for a minute or two to cool.
Note: My friend fries hers in a pan, but when I made them we put them in a deep fryer basket. I cooked them for a little bit, then flipped them over and cooked until golden brown.
Wonton Appetizer Ingredients: 8 ounces cheddar or Colby jack cheese, shredded 8 ounces pepper jack cheese, shredded 1 cup ranch dressing 1 pound breakfast sausage 35 Wonton wrappers
You’ll need a medium bowl, frying pan, muffin pan, and a cookie sheet.
Directions: Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook and drain sausage. While cooking the sausage, take wonton wrappers and push them into the muffin shape of the muffin pan. Bake in the oven just long enough the shape will set (about 5 minutes). Remove from muffin pan and place on the cookie sheet. Combine the cheeses, dressing, and sausage in a medium bowl. Place the mixture into the formed wonton wrappers on the cookie sheet. Once the cookie sheet is full, or you have enough for what you need, bake them until the cheese is all melted.
Chicken Spaghetti Ingredients: 4-5 Chicken breasts, cut into pieces 12-16 ounces spaghetti noodles, cooked and cut into small pieces 16 ounces sour cream 1 (10¾ ounce) can cream of mushroom soup 1 (10¾ ounce) can cream of chicken soup 8 ounces Velveeta cheese, cubed 12-24 ounces cheese shredded (Colby jack or medium cheddar is yummy) Mushrooms, optional Season to taste (oregano, salt, pepper)
You’ll need a kettle to cook the chicken in, a kettle for noodles, a large bowl, and a 9”x13” pan.
Directions: Preheat oven to 350°F. Boil chicken until fully cooked and drain. Season the chicken after bowling for stronger taste. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Spread into pan and bake.
Note: I used elbow macaroni and it worked quite well.
Shrimp or Chicken Alfredo Ingredients: 8 large shrimp, peeled and cleaned, or 2 chicken breasts 1½ teaspoons olive oil ¼ teaspoon oregano 1 clove garlic, chopped ¾ cup heavy cream ¾ cup parmesan cheese 7 ounces linguine noodles, cooked and drained 1 egg yolk, beaten Salt and pepper 1 teaspoon parsley chopped Lemon wedge and chopped parsley, optional garnish
You’ll need a dish for marinating, a kettle for noodles, and a skillet.
Directions: Marinate meat in oil, oregano, and garlic for 30 minutes. Remove meat and sauté in skilled over medium heat (for shrimp, just until tails curl and flash turns pink). Season it lightly with salt and pepper. Add heavy cream, cheese, and linguine. Simmer about 3 minutes, whisking constantly. When meat is fully cooked, whisk in egg yolk and parsley. Remove from heat and serve immediately. Garnish if you choose.
Notes: Noodles in one pan and sauce in another works best. Then pour sauce over pasta and toss together.
Monster Cookies
Mix until smooth:
12 eggs
4 cups white sugar
1 tablespoon corn syrup
3 pounds peanut butter
2 pounds brown sugar
8 teaspoons baking soda
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 pound butter (cannot use oleo/margarine)
Stir in until mixed well:
18 cups oatmeal
1 pound chocolate chips (mixture of other varieties works well too-my preference is butterscotch, chocolate, and white chocolate)
1 pound M&M's (plain/politically correct milk chocolate works best, because peanut are too big)
Use ice cream scoop to scoop cookies onto cookie sheet. Flatten before baking. Bake at 350F to desired consistency (chewy or crunchy). Approximately 12-15 minutes. Do not overbake.
Note: A half batch is enough to fill two large Tupperware containers. A full batch makes about 60 (5" diameter)cookies.
Mamelon's Sweet & Spicy Rice
I started with my basic recipe for caramelized rice, which is as follows:
1-2 tbsp butter
1-2 tbsp sugar
1 pinch salt
1 cup rice
1-2 cups water
I add the butter to a large metal cooking pot. Then (very important) you let the butter cook until it turns brown. Add the sugar and salt, then add the rice and coat with butter. Then add enough water to cover the rice.
To this, I added:
1 tsp dill seeds
1 tsp sweet paprika
1 tsp cinammon powder
1 tsp dried oregano
several grinds of fresh black pepper
Add these together with the butter. When the rice and water is combined and comes to a boil, add:
1/4 cup good red wine
Bring to a boil, then simmer on low flame/low heat for 10-12 minutes. When the water is absorbed properly, add:
1/2 cup milk
1 tbsp horseradish sauce or 1 tsp ground horseradish
1/4 cup frozen or fresh peas
Let the milk simmer and condense, then add:
1/4 cup your choice of rice vinegar, balsamic vinegar, red wine or sherry vinegar, italian dressing, dijon dressing, or other acid-based dressing
Additional vegetables, like onions, would also be welcome, as would ground ginger and curry powder.
Mamelon's Honey & Nut Glazed Chicken
I started with
4 small chicken tenderloins
But one or two chicken breasts, or other type of chicken meat, would also be fine. Some other type of meat would probably also be good with this dish.
I made a brine out of 1 part salt, 1 part vinegar, and 2 parts water, and let the chicken soak in it for a half hour (or more). Afterwards, dice or chop chicken and add to a hot pan with butter or your choice of oil. After the chicken has some color on the outer side, add:
2-3 tbsps of your choice of good wine or vinegar
1-2 pinches of salt
several grinds black pepper
2-3 tbsps honey
1/3 cup shelled peanuts (or other similar nut/legume of your choice)
Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce heat and let the chicken cook. Before it's done, you may add, at your option, any combination of:
1 tbsp barbecue sauce
several dashes of worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp mustard
1 tbsp peanut butter
You want the liquid to reduce quite a bit, but it's best to allow some of it to remain to form a sauce.
Mamelon's Breadcrumb Stuffed Mushrooms
I started with seven smallish, toad-stool lookin' mushrooms, but other kinds of mushrooms would be very good choices. Remove the mushrooms stems.
Then I prepared breadcrumbs by toasting wheat bread and curmbling it (should make about a cup) but any other type of bread, premade breadcrumbs, or panko would work, too.
I combined breadcrumbs with 2 tbsps melted butter, 1/2 tsp rosemary, a dash of salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Combine with hands until flavors permeate.
Fill the cavity in each mushroom with breadcrumb mixture until they are overfull. Sprinkle remaining crumbs over the mushrooms.
Mine only took about 10 minutes on 350 to roast and make the crumbs golden, but you may need to adjust cooking time for larger mushrooms and if you make more at a time.

Official Character Sheet Shredder of DAMNIT
DAMNIT: I should never have to shred my own character sheet in frustration.
All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to be the light that you see. All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to be the peace that you feel. All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to fill your heart on my own.
But the rainbow is an image of hope for many reasons, as it is a brilliant sight coming out of oftimes dismal weather.
Yay! New thread. Not much I did today. Other than some laundry, ToS and enjoying my last day off until Sat. Tomorrow and Friday shouldn't be too bad, but you know. Not many people like working.
Speaking of work, I hope yours is working out well, Cecilla. (sorry if I spelt that wrong). I get my check tomorrow, so I'll be glad about that.
I can't use the chat server you guys are on :(. My firewall blocks it and there's no way for me to change it in a few minutes + I'd have to wake my parents up. Plus, whenever I would do it the computer may get connected to by something bad :(.
I think I'm just going to go to sleep or something :-/. I've only just finished my homework assignment, I feel somewhat depressed, and my back is sore for no reason. I need a hug :(.
Edit: Thanks so much for responding everyone :-/... I'm going to bed.
And this is the night for boogie-ing on down! Hope everyone has a happy Thursday/Claniversary! I'm not much for staying awake much longer tho so this will probably be only post for tonight. I'll change my sig in the morning!
Reminder: Change your sig links if you have one when you have the time!
That reminds me.....haven't seen Ryan around. When's that bum gonna start posting in here again?
My friend, I have returned this evening! I believe Photon also commented on my lack of posting :-p Sorry I can't be in the chat with you people... issues with firewall and stuff.
Well I'm here right now though! Party people!
On that note, I must say, it indeed HAS been a long time. A lot been happening, but Omna's kept most of that updated here. Based on what I quickly read over from the last thread. Unfortunately not much. One must understand that when I contribute, I contribute A LOT. As in read back somewhere between 10-15 pages, and comment on what people have written. Tonight, I'm just in for the anniversary.
Dude. You guys realize that in a single year, you've come up with 26,000 some odd posts?
In the context of the magnitude of MTG Salvation, this clan has had MORE POSTS THAN ANY OTHER THREAD, EVER. Correct me if I'm wrong. So, cake, cookies, food, and non-alcholic beverages all around!
Welcome dear, how are you doing? Wish you could be in the chatroom.. thusly maybe you could convince more people to view the video.......
..of my language..
EDIT: Indeed... actually its closer to 32000 now! Isn't it amazing what we've accomplished?? I mean, it would never have come into being if it weren't for Ryan, and also werent' for all you wonderful people who come here everyday.
Welcome dear, how are you doing? Wish you could be in the chatroom.. thusly maybe you could convince more people to view the video.......

About this.
As of right now, I am working on a final project for my ASL class, which is due in a month. This is a work in progress, and it's going up on Youtube. Should be available tomorrow. When it's done I'll get a link up. My roommate who has helped me take care of it has said that he called it Bohemian Rhapsody in ASL. So it should be easy to find. Hopefully by the time most of you read this post, it's there ^_^.
I'm also thoroughly going through playtesting a new set of cards for Sanctuaries purity. Yep, I'm still overhauling it and working on it.
Finally, blatant advertisement: My informal club that I hold on RIT campus has now been moved online! Saturday Afternoon Drafting crew! Send me an IM anytime between 1:30 - 2:15 EST to get in the chat and the weekly tourney!
@buzz: Yes work has been doing pretty good for me i hope your work is doing good too.
@Ryan: goodluck in school! Im sure you will do great.
Well goodnight everyone and happy aniversary to the coffeehouse! Ill be on aol if anyone wants to talk to me. See you all soon! *Hugs and blows kisses to everyone*
Love,
Cecilia

You should have:
Eggs
Frying Pan
Butter/something non-sticky for the pan
Heat Source (We'll use a range in this example)
Mixing Bowl (doesn't need to be huge)
Fork/Egg Beater
Spatula
Toppings (Suggestions include sausage, ham, bacon bits, cheese, spinach, broccoli flores)
Instructions
CANADIAN TERIYAKI TOFU
4 cups snow peas
4 cups cubed white button mushrooms or whole tiny button shrooms
4 cups chopped yellow onion
3-4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 8-oz extra firm tofu steaks, cubed and cubes rolled in flour spice mix
Toasted sesame seeds
Flour spice mix
1 cup wheat or corn flour
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp dried basil
Pinch salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
CANADIAN TERIYAKI SAUCE
1 tbsp (LOL 10 ml) maple syrup
1 tbsp (LOL 10 ml) rice vinegar or red wine vinegar
3 tbsp (LOL 30 ml) soy sauce
Pinch ground ginger
Pinch red chile powder
COOKING:
Heat vegetable oil in 16" wide or larger wok or deep skillet until a bit of onion dropped in starts sizzling briskly right away.
Add tofu, onion, garlic; stir fry for 1-2 minutes on high heat.
Add mushroom; stir fry for 5-10 minutes or until onions are translucent and mushrooms are starting to soften and brown.
Add snow peas and stir fry for 5-10 more minutes. Pods should be glistening and softly springy, but still green.
Pour in Canadian teriyaki sauce, stir, lower heat to medium, simmer for 5-10 more minutes or until mixture starts to become dry and cooked, whichever is first.
Salt to taste.
Remove from heat, garnish with toasted sesame seeds, and serve over steamed rice or with soba. 6-8 servings.
Photon's Almond-Crusted Parmesan Chicken
First of all, you'll need enough chicken breast to provide each person with a good 3 or 4 strips. I usually go with about 1 large chicken breast per person. You'll want to cut each breast (once thawed) up into equally sized strips of about an inch of thickness. Also, another alternative is to use chicken tenderloins. If you go with this option, I would suggest about 3-4 strips per person, depending on the relative size of your pieces.
Then, combine 1 part finely crushed almonds with 1 part grated parmesan cheese. I usually use between a cup and a cup and a half, if forced to measure. Season this mixture with a dash of sea salt (you only really need a tiny bit here, since the cheese has a lot of salt in it), and some freshly ground pepper.
Gently beat together two eggs and a fourth of a cup (give or take a little) of water together to form an eggwash. Dip your chicken in the egg, and then coat both sides evenly in the cheese-almond mixture. Place on a non-stick baking sheet, and then bake for about 15 minutes in a 425 degree oven. You'll want to keep an eye on it so that your almonds don't burn- burnt almonds have an awful taste and it will ruin the dish entirely. When finished, the coating should be crispy and slightly golden.
Garnish with slivered almonds and some fresh cilantro.
Dreia's Recipes:
Crab Meat and Cheese (Ragoons)
Ingredients:
8 ounces, softened
4 green onions, chopped or diced
1 can crab meat
2 teaspoons minced garlic
25 wonton wrappers
(small bowl of water)
You’ll need a medium mixing bowl and a frying pan or deep fryer.
Directions:
Combine cream cheese, green onions, crab meat, and garlic. Spoon some of the mixture onto a wonton wrapper. Dab water around the edges of the wrapper. Place another wrapper on top, and seal against the water. Fry until golden brown. Remove from frying and let set on paper towels for a minute or two to cool.
Note: My friend fries hers in a pan, but when I made them we put them in a deep fryer basket. I cooked them for a little bit, then flipped them over and cooked until golden brown.
Wonton Appetizer
Ingredients:
8 ounces cheddar or Colby jack cheese, shredded
8 ounces pepper jack cheese, shredded
1 cup ranch dressing
1 pound breakfast sausage
35 Wonton wrappers
You’ll need a medium bowl, frying pan, muffin pan, and a cookie sheet.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook and drain sausage. While cooking the sausage, take wonton wrappers and push them into the muffin shape of the muffin pan. Bake in the oven just long enough the shape will set (about 5 minutes). Remove from muffin pan and place on the cookie sheet. Combine the cheeses, dressing, and sausage in a medium bowl. Place the mixture into the formed wonton wrappers on the cookie sheet. Once the cookie sheet is full, or you have enough for what you need, bake them until the cheese is all melted.
Chicken Spaghetti
Ingredients:
4-5 Chicken breasts, cut into pieces
12-16 ounces spaghetti noodles, cooked and cut into small pieces
16 ounces sour cream
1 (10¾ ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
1 (10¾ ounce) can cream of chicken soup
8 ounces Velveeta cheese, cubed
12-24 ounces cheese shredded (Colby jack or medium cheddar is yummy)
Mushrooms, optional
Season to taste (oregano, salt, pepper)
You’ll need a kettle to cook the chicken in, a kettle for noodles, a large bowl, and a 9”x13” pan.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Boil chicken until fully cooked and drain. Season the chicken after bowling for stronger taste. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Spread into pan and bake.
Note: I used elbow macaroni and it worked quite well.
Shrimp or Chicken Alfredo
Ingredients:
8 large shrimp, peeled and cleaned, or 2 chicken breasts
1½ teaspoons olive oil
¼ teaspoon oregano
1 clove garlic, chopped
¾ cup heavy cream
¾ cup parmesan cheese
7 ounces linguine noodles, cooked and drained
1 egg yolk, beaten
Salt and pepper
1 teaspoon parsley chopped
Lemon wedge and chopped parsley, optional garnish
You’ll need a dish for marinating, a kettle for noodles, and a skillet.
Directions:
Marinate meat in oil, oregano, and garlic for 30 minutes. Remove meat and sauté in skilled over medium heat (for shrimp, just until tails curl and flash turns pink). Season it lightly with salt and pepper. Add heavy cream, cheese, and linguine. Simmer about 3 minutes, whisking constantly. When meat is fully cooked, whisk in egg yolk and parsley. Remove from heat and serve immediately. Garnish if you choose.
Notes: Noodles in one pan and sauce in another works best. Then pour sauce over pasta and toss together.
Monster Cookies
Mix until smooth:
12 eggs
4 cups white sugar
1 tablespoon corn syrup
3 pounds peanut butter
2 pounds brown sugar
8 teaspoons baking soda
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 pound butter (cannot use oleo/margarine)
Stir in until mixed well:
18 cups oatmeal
1 pound chocolate chips (mixture of other varieties works well too-my preference is butterscotch, chocolate, and white chocolate)
1 pound M&M's (plain/politically correct milk chocolate works best, because peanut are too big)
Use ice cream scoop to scoop cookies onto cookie sheet. Flatten before baking. Bake at 350F to desired consistency (chewy or crunchy). Approximately 12-15 minutes. Do not overbake.
Note: A half batch is enough to fill two large Tupperware containers. A full batch makes about 60 (5" diameter)cookies.
Mamelon's Sweet & Spicy Rice
I started with my basic recipe for caramelized rice, which is as follows:
1-2 tbsp butter
1-2 tbsp sugar
1 pinch salt
1 cup rice
1-2 cups water
I add the butter to a large metal cooking pot. Then (very important) you let the butter cook until it turns brown. Add the sugar and salt, then add the rice and coat with butter. Then add enough water to cover the rice.
To this, I added:
1 tsp dill seeds
1 tsp sweet paprika
1 tsp cinammon powder
1 tsp dried oregano
several grinds of fresh black pepper
Add these together with the butter. When the rice and water is combined and comes to a boil, add:
1/4 cup good red wine
Bring to a boil, then simmer on low flame/low heat for 10-12 minutes. When the water is absorbed properly, add:
1/2 cup milk
1 tbsp horseradish sauce or 1 tsp ground horseradish
1/4 cup frozen or fresh peas
Let the milk simmer and condense, then add:
1/4 cup your choice of rice vinegar, balsamic vinegar, red wine or sherry vinegar, italian dressing, dijon dressing, or other acid-based dressing
Additional vegetables, like onions, would also be welcome, as would ground ginger and curry powder.
Mamelon's Honey & Nut Glazed Chicken
I started with
4 small chicken tenderloins
But one or two chicken breasts, or other type of chicken meat, would also be fine. Some other type of meat would probably also be good with this dish.
I made a brine out of 1 part salt, 1 part vinegar, and 2 parts water, and let the chicken soak in it for a half hour (or more). Afterwards, dice or chop chicken and add to a hot pan with butter or your choice of oil. After the chicken has some color on the outer side, add:
2-3 tbsps of your choice of good wine or vinegar
1-2 pinches of salt
several grinds black pepper
2-3 tbsps honey
1/3 cup shelled peanuts (or other similar nut/legume of your choice)
Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce heat and let the chicken cook. Before it's done, you may add, at your option, any combination of:
1 tbsp barbecue sauce
several dashes of worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp mustard
1 tbsp peanut butter
You want the liquid to reduce quite a bit, but it's best to allow some of it to remain to form a sauce.
Mamelon's Breadcrumb Stuffed Mushrooms
I started with seven smallish, toad-stool lookin' mushrooms, but other kinds of mushrooms would be very good choices. Remove the mushrooms stems.
Then I prepared breadcrumbs by toasting wheat bread and curmbling it (should make about a cup) but any other type of bread, premade breadcrumbs, or panko would work, too.
I combined breadcrumbs with 2 tbsps melted butter, 1/2 tsp rosemary, a dash of salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Combine with hands until flavors permeate.
Fill the cavity in each mushroom with breadcrumb mixture until they are overfull. Sprinkle remaining crumbs over the mushrooms.
Mine only took about 10 minutes on 350 to roast and make the crumbs golden, but you may need to adjust cooking time for larger mushrooms and if you make more at a time.

Windmills do not work that way!
I think I'm just going to go to sleep or something :-/. I've only just finished my homework assignment, I feel somewhat depressed, and my back is sore for no reason. I need a hug :(.

My friend, I have returned this evening! I believe Photon also commented on my lack of posting :-p Sorry I can't be in the chat with you people... issues with firewall and stuff.
Well I'm here right now though! Party people!
On that note, I must say, it indeed HAS been a long time. A lot been happening, but Omna's kept most of that updated here. Based on what I quickly read over from the last thread. Unfortunately not much. One must understand that when I contribute, I contribute A LOT. As in read back somewhere between 10-15 pages, and comment on what people have written. Tonight, I'm just in for the anniversary.
Dude. You guys realize that in a single year, you've come up with 26,000 some odd posts?
In the context of the magnitude of MTG Salvation, this clan has had MORE POSTS THAN ANY OTHER THREAD, EVER. Correct me if I'm wrong. So, cake, cookies, food, and non-alcholic beverages all around!

About this.
As of right now, I am working on a final project for my ASL class, which is due in a month. This is a work in progress, and it's going up on Youtube. Should be available tomorrow. When it's done I'll get a link up. My roommate who has helped me take care of it has said that he called it Bohemian Rhapsody in ASL. So it should be easy to find. Hopefully by the time most of you read this post, it's there ^_^.
I'm also thoroughly going through playtesting a new set of cards for Sanctuaries purity. Yep, I'm still overhauling it and working on it.
Finally, blatant advertisement: My informal club that I hold on RIT campus has now been moved online! Saturday Afternoon Drafting crew! Send me an IM anytime between 1:30 - 2:15 EST to get in the chat and the weekly tourney!
