When the mushrooms were done, I squeezed them against the side of the
pan to release some of the butter and moved them into a storage bowl.
Then I sweated and browned the onion in the remaining butter, with
additional salt and pepper.  The volume of onion was about equal
to the volume of mushrooms; I mixed them together.

The remainder will be stored until perhaps Friday, when I'll put it

Perhaps I'll spread the toast with a thin schmear of Dijon mustard,
for brightness.

I think mushrooms are the most perfect food. They're good for you,
they don't require any killing of animals and they can taste great. I
wish I had a cave somewhere.
