Guest guest Report post Posted July 19, 2009 Oh Mel, it was for fun! We floated on the tubes, like rafts . Heather There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle.

Was this to make them easier to transport, to cool them down, or what?

I used some program friendly bread for browns, and made a parsley salad to go along side. It worked out really well! The funniest part was that during the camping trip we take inner tubes a few miles up river from our site, and drop the in the water and float back to our campsite. Most people bring drinks but very few remember snacks. Not me! The first day we went in the water mid afternoon so I brought my sparkling water and then a snack of cheese, crackers and half an apple. The next day we got in the river around lunch time so I brought with me egg salad, bread and a fork (I really can't fit enough egg salad for the protein I need in a sandwhich so I improvise).

Guest guest Report post Posted July 19, 2009 Steve, I have never grilled a portobello, surprisingly! I will have to try it. What kind of protein do you serve with yours?

I marinate them a bit in whatever might be handy, then put minced garlic, cilantro and sage on the " underside " . If you use oil, olive oil would be a good addition. Then set them on a medium-heat spot on the grill, and heat them through. No need to " flip " . If you want to heat both sides, you can use tin foil. I like the grill marks, so I don't do that. I use Ezekiel 4:9 whole wheat bread for the bun, toasted less than a minute on each side on the grill. Or use a bagel. Add a slice of tomato, some sliced onion, some lettuce and (if you like) some barbecue sauce, and your burger-eating friends might ask " do you have any more of those 'shrooms?

Guest guest Report post Posted July 19, 2009 I do something like this with big flat mushrooms, but in the oven, & I add chilli flakes sometimes, & thyme. Lovely!
