Mushrooms and Spinach Italian Style

Original recipe makes 4 serving

 4 tablespoons olive oil

1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
14 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
10 ounces clean fresh spinach, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup white wine
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic in the oil until they start to become tender. Add the mushrooms, and fry until they begin to shrink, about 3 to 4 minutes. Toss in the spinach, and fry, stirring constantly for a few minutes, or until spinach is wilted.

2. Add the vinegar, stirring constantly until it is absorbed, then stir in the white wine. Reduce heat to low, and simmer until the wine has almost completely absorbed. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve hot.

This was a tasty side dish.

Went to the dentist today.  I did not like him very much.  No bed side manner.  He hurt me a couple of time and didn’t seem to care much.  Got the divots between tooth and gum fixed.  It cost me a little over $300 to have it done.  I am glad that I did it though.  Hopefully that will help to keep my teeth from falling out.  I am going to ask Dannie if he has me on his dental and vision.  That way the next time I go it wont cost me so much.
