The Rural Voice, 1992-06, Page 49Rural Living Remove the stems (save them for soup). Place the buttons in a sauce pan with 1 tablespoon water. Cook over high heat for 3 min- utes, moving the pan back and forth constantly. Then place the mush- rooms in a bowl, to marinate for 2 hours in 114 cup salad oil //2 cup lemon juice freshly ground pepper 1/4 tsp. thyme 114 tsp. tarragon Just before serving time melt in a skillet 3 tablespoons butter Add 20 scallops Saute gently until they are lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Lift the mushrooms from the marinade and arrange them stem side up in a broiling pan. On each one, set a sauteed scallop, and on top of that, a small circle of Camembert cheese Secure all with a toothpick. Spoon the marinade over them, and place them under the broiler at 450° for 5 minutes. Serve piping hot. One quick final note for this month. We had a very successful garden party despite the weather. About 30 avid gardeners arrived amid a heavy downpour but the spirits were not dampened. We dove into a fabulous potluck lunch. (I think next time I am going to request a recipe exchange.) The rain lifted and after lunch we trooped out and began exchanging plants, ideas and advice. There were plenty of perennials, ground covers and newly started tomato plants. There were even a few we couldn't identify but these plants were scooped up and the new owners will have to let the rest of us know next year how they fared. In a couple of hours it was all over and just after the last car drove down the lane the heavens parted and a blast of hail and heavy rain broke over the garden. A rather damp day for people but ideal for plants.0 Rhea Hamilton -Seeger, in addition to working in advertising production for The Rural Voice, raises two children, and is a skilled cook and gardener.
