1. Marinate goat cheese in olive oil and herbs and pink peppercorns in glass jar for 8-24 hours.
2. If you do not use all of the goat cheese, or wish to add several logs, this will keep in refrigerator for about 1 week.
3. Marinate mushrooms in mixture of herbs, garlic, salt and pepper.
4. Sprinkle with olive oil, add more while marinating if they dry out.
5. Marinate for at least 1 hour - more is better though.
6. ASSEMBLE
7. Grill mushrooms and place on cookie sheet upside down.
8. Remove log from oil being careful not to break it apart.
9. Slice a piece of goat cheese approximately 1/4 -1/2 inch thick (closer to 1/4 inch or it will be too rich) on mushroom.
10. Top goat cheese with a sprig of rosemary and thyme and a pink berry and either place entire cookie sheet on grill and close lid for a few minutes, or bake in oven on 350 degrees (175 C.) for a few minutes.
