Dear Al A. Carte,
I broke up with my live-in girlfriend over a month ago, but she can’t find her own place to live. She’s driving me nuts, and really cramping my style. What can I do?

Dear Bachelor,
Don’t let things continue to MUSHROOM out of control.
Stuffed Mushrooms
6 Portabella mushrooms
½ cup vegetable broth
½ cup onion, chopped
1 tsp olive oil
2 small tomatoes, chopped
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp oregano
½ cup seasoned bread crumbs
2 Tbl grated parmesan cheese
½ cup grated Mozzarella cheese
Remove stems from mushrooms, and set aside. In a large baking dish, place mushroom caps smooth side down. Pour broth over mushroom caps. Cover with foil, and bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes.
Chop mushroom stems, and combine with tomatoes and spices. Set aside. In a medium pan, saute onion and garlic in olive oil until tender. Add mushroom mixture, and cook an additional 5 minutes. Stir in bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Stuff mushrooms with mixture, then sprinkle with Mozzarella. Broil until cheese melts.

Give your ex- a reasonable amount of time to move out, and do whatever you can to help her find a new place to live.
