Grilled Portobello Mushrooms

I have been cooking lately; I've even been trying new recipes, but unfortunately most of them haven't turned out so great.  The worst of it was when we didn't have our Mother's Day dinner on Mother's Day...so we had it the next day and invited some friends (who also missed Mother's Day dinner) over to join us.  I had a couple of new recipes on the menu and they were barely edible not-so-hot.

Sorry friends, I'm really not a bad cook, I promise.

The saving grace of that night was that I had added one of my long-time favorite grilling recipes to the menu--Grilled portobello mushrooms. 

This picture is not fabulous, but these mushrooms are quite possibly the best. 

Thank you, yummy mushrooms, for leaving saving me some shred of cooking dignity when all the other recipes failed.
