  In propitiation, may I offer Italian Marinated Mushrooms (not too original,
  I'm still fighting off the cobbies to locate Grandma's secret kitchen
  diary):
  
  Paprika Parsley sprigs Bread sticks (optional)
  
  Cut mushrooms into 1/8-inch slices.  Mix mushroom slices and lemon juice in
  large bowl (glass or plastic).  Stir in oil, onions, 1/4 cup parsley, the
  garlic, slat, and pepper.  Toss; cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours,
  stirring occasionally.
  
  Just before serving, remove from mixing bowl to serving bowl, using slotted
  spoon.  Sprinkle with paprika.  Garnish with parsley sprigs.  Serve with
  long, thin bread sticks if desired.
