Chop the scallions finely crosswise. Whisk together the cream, lemon
juice, and parsley. Lightly but thoroughly mix in the mushrooms and
scallions. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Turn into a serving dish
and serve at once or leave it in a cool place for a few hours so that the
mushrooms can absorb the flavor of the dressing.

This is an easy-to-prepare dish for the quicksilver Gemini that combines
the foods of Mercury (parsley and mushrooms) with a creamy coating. Because
of their association with death, mushrooms are an appropriate food for the
god whose duty was to conduct the souls of the dead to the under- world.
Rich in minerals and vitamins, parsley helps relieve nervous conditions
(often a Gemini complaint) and soothes the stomach. Serve this delicious
starter with a very chilled white wine and thin slices of whole wheat bread
and butter.
