Vacation Series: Asian Portobello Burgers

    So school is out for the summer and I am in Maine with my family for the week.  This will, sadly, be my only week off this summer.  Luckily, my summer work schedule is a lot lighter, which will hopefully give me a lot of time to visit local markets and try new recipes. 
     One family from my class gave me Gwenyth Paltrow's new cookbook, My Father's Daughter, as an end of the year gift.  I had been eyeing this book in the bookstore, so I was excited to receive this thoughtful gift.  I brought the book along for the trip to Maine, hoping to make some of the recipes with my family.  Night number one and Gwenyth's Asian Portobello Burgers are on the menu.
