Thank you Thank you....I first found this recipe in the LCBO Food and Drink magazine in 1999, I think...I used it several times and then lost the book...the only LCBO magazine that I cannot find in my collection...of course...it is outstanding...I do lots of mushrooms on a baking sheet and serve them at my annual Christmas party at home...always get rave reviews...I recommend using the almonds....
