Mushroom Apps...and I'm not talking iPhone here

Since I have young guests visiting this weekend, I decided to have a kitchen party and serve the kind of apps I can relate to. I obtained the recipe for these mushroom appetizers at a cooking class at least 25 years ago, (before the majority of my guests were born).

Ingredients:
- 12 thin slices of bread (crusts removed, rolled thin with a rolling pin and buttered on one side and placed on a sheet of waxed paper, buttered side down)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 pound of finely chopped mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Melt the butter in a skillet, add the mushrooms and saute. When the moisture has disappeared from the mushrooms, add the remaining ingredients and stir well. Cool the mushroom mixture, then place 1 tablespoon of the mushrooms on each slice of bread (keeping the buttered side down). Roll up the bread; you may need to fasten the mushroom roll with a toothpick at this point. Refrigerate. When ready to serve, bake at 425 degrees F. for 15 minutes.
