Stared with 4 large caps, stems removed. In a bowl mixed (sorry didn't measure) EVOO, red wine vinagar, oregano and basil. Put mushrooms and mix in a sealed bag and back to the fridge for an hour.

    Have a good golf game Ross,
    Your plan sounds pretty darn good. :) I don't know for sure. I think I'm going to play around and eggsperiment this weekend. Bourbon Street Steaks one night, with Cheesy Hashbrown Casserole. I'm going to give those Cheesy Biscuits another shot.
    I have some homemade Honey Cured Pork Chops in the fridge for the Chefs game. :woohoo: There is a chance it will be good. ;)
    You play alot of golf?

    Those look good. I like to stuff 'em with seafood and then smother 'em in cheese. Try adding a little splash of balsamic too! It takes 'em over the top.

    Are you working tomorrow?

    It is knockoff of Red Lobsters.
    Dough:
    1 1/4 lbs. Bisquik
    3 Oz. freshly shredded cheddar cheese
    11 Oz. cold water
    Garlic Spread:
    1/2 cup melted butter
    1 teas. garlic powder
    1/4 teas. salt
    1/8 teas. onion powder
    1/8 teas. dried parsley
    To cold water, add Bisquik and cheese, blending in a mixing bowl.
    Mix until dough is firm.
    Using a small scoop, place the dough on a baking pan lined with
    baking paper. Bake in 375 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until
    golden brown. While biscuits bake, combine spread ingredients.
    Brush baked biscuits with the garlic topping. I brushed them a couple times while baking.

    LOL Terry.
    I just took 5 slices of Pita Bread. Don't open up the pockets, cut in 6's. Brush each side with garlic butter or spray with pam. Both sides. Indirect at 400 or so until golden brown. You are going to have to flip once.

    Have your crab meat chilled.
    2 Cans Millers Claw Crab Meat (drained)
    1/3 cup+ or to taste of Mayo
    2 tsp fresh lemon juice
    2 Tbsp Chopped Green onions
    Anything you might want to add to give it extra flavor.

    Pull Pita bread, top with crab meat, sprinkle with parsley and serve. The pita bread is not good after chilling so serve quick or keep warm.

    Just tonight, I did six 4” to 5” caps, along with Italian (spices) marinated chicken breasts!
    The “schrooms” were marinated in olive oil, dry red wine, a touch of salt and fresh ground mixed pepper.
    After a cook, gill side down at 400 F. for about 10 minutes, I flipped them and gave them a “sliming” of a basil pesto, a good topping of a sweet and hot pepper (onion and garlic is always a given) sauté and then topped them with a mix of cheddar, mozzarella, jack and feta cheese. Back on / in the Egg for about 5 minutes more...and out.
    They were excellent! The wife and daughter loved them…And I will do them again, and again!
