Mock Chopped Liver Pate

Posted: Saturday, September 30th, 2006 @ 5:46 pm in Vegetarian, Recipes | No Comments »

4 cups water
2 t. vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups chopped onions
1/4 t. […]

I found myself in Phoenix for business last week.  After a long seminar, I did not want to begin searching for a place to eat at 8:30 so I resigned myself to going the restaurant Camus in my hotel, The Clarendon in downtown Phoenix.  Little did I know at the time that I was about to enjoy one of […]
