Thursday, May 22, 2003 MASHED POTATO, MASHED POTATO Here's an email I sent to Wendy: G'day, how's it going!? I'm good thanks... You'll be *peas*ed (sic) to know that I made "mashed potato, mashed potato" tonight. NB: I use the term "mashed" REALLY loosely. Was trying to "mash" away, and was fearful that my meat that I was trying to cook/char-grill at the same time was burning like a random thing in hell, but continued to mash like crazy and just could not achieve that creamy, mashy goodness that we had that one time at your place when you introduced me to: 1) Mexican food 2) Your cooking Would LOVE to know your secret (wouldn't we all...) about how to make "Wendy's Perfect Mash"... And with your permission, put it on http://devine.blogspot.com - cos no one should continue existing (not living) without knowing how to "mash potato, mash potato" the way you do..... Hope all is well there. Say hi to Teddy, Charlie and James for me (in that order) ;) -AJ P.S. Not only do I now have "mashed potato, mashed potato" in my head, but also the M*A*S*H theme, cos I've written MASH so much...... (I almost wrote mash instead of much just then.... lol) And her reply, oh the subject heading was "Deary me"....: hi aj i definitely think you have wayyyy too much time on your hands. what's with cooking your own grub? i thought you guys were meant to be like kinda important up there? or maybe i just made that up. who knows as for the mash, no big secret. just milk and some butter/margarine. little at a time to see what consistency you want to stop at. i don't usually drain my potatoes too well, so the liquid from that sorta adds to the "wetness" (ooh, i think i just used a naughty word.......... is it that time of the night already?). feel free to blog the recipe away. on the topic of food though, i don't recall having made you mash before? anyway, just finished watching some english cooking show on abc. fulla good stuff. i should have a dinner thing at my place again when you get back. will be nice to be all inside digging into lots of food on a cold winter's night. i think it sounds like a plan. james and i took the dog for a "walk" today. like you, i use terms rather lightly at times. we chucked him in the boot and drove up to the car with a tennis racket and ball. i ended up having to sit in the boot with him so that he wouldn't jump into the backseat of the car and chew up some nice things in the car. as you know, james has a little hatchback and it wasn't the most comfortable of trips. lots of odd looks from passerbys and teddy licking me all over with his wonderous breath. i had a lovely day, thank you very much. i jsut finished writing a 3000 word essay, so i think i've earned a well deserved rest in bed watching the season finale of sex and the city. hope all is well in the nation's capital. too bad you're not a porn man (or maybe you are). wendles HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA. It's called procrastination. I need to break up my day with random emails and cooking goodness. Oh, forgot to say, that while "cooking" my meat in a huge frying pan type device (I believe they call it a "frying pan") for some reason, a HUGE flame came from under the pan and the girl who was using the other stove opposite me gave me a look that said "you have no idea what you're doing, and I can tell". Great, huh?posted by AJ | 11:44 AM | | ||
