So I made a lot of mashed potatoes two days ago. Finally decided to make shepherd's pie. It was so delicious.
Well, Nobby's cooked the Burns Night Supper with help from his Dad, and here are the boys posing for a photo before sitting down to eat their fill. It looks tasty, and they each have a (small) tot of whisky to help it down! Bon Appetit!"
Burns Night, the anniversary of the birth of Scottish poet Robert Burns, is celebrated annually on 25 January.
The tradition of the Burns Night Supper was first held in 1801 by the poet's friends, five years after his death. Today, the day - otherwise known as Robert Burns Day - has become popular around the UK.
Widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland, Burns is the best known of the poets who have written in the Scots language. He also wrote in English and is regarded as a pioneer of the Romantic movement. After his death, he became a source of inspiration to founders of liberalism and socialism and greatly influenced Scottish literature.
His most recognised works include Auld Lang Syne, often sung at Hogmanay or New Year's Eve, and Scots Wha Hae, which became an unofficial Scottish national anthem.
Whisky is the usual choice of tipple on Burns Night, either malts or blends. It is traditional to pour a dram over the haggis, but most prefer not to as it changes the taste of the meat and can turn the meal soggy.
Historically, grace is said before a Burns Supper. As the main course was brought in - traditionally a haggis - the host would recite the poem Address to a Haggis.
Mysterious process, isn't it?
This one started its life in the grocery store, when I wanted to have some different tastes in our vegetarian diet. I bought few beets ('beetroot', if you prefer), a turnip, and — as usual — celery, tomatoes, spuds, the staples of a pantry/fridge.
It had a few days' gestation period (I usually wake up in the morning thinking about what I'm going to fix for lunch, during which time I imagine flavour combinations, the processes involved in cooking a dish, and how the finished product will present and taste.)
So this is what I came up with over the last few days, and what was born today:
1 TURNIP and 2 BEETROOT, both chopped into ±1,5cm cubes and steamed.
LIMA BEANS (the dried kind), soaked overnight, and boiled in water until 'al dente'.
SAUCE:
Do this in a nice, big pot. I used a 3-litre cast Iron pot on an induction plate, but use anything you've got that saves energy and global warming.
Seeds: you can either roast these dry, or sauter them in oil (I used olive) as you like: black mustard seeds, fennel seeds, caraway seeds (VERY IMPORTANT) and cumin seeds.
Half an onion, diced; thumb-sized shallot, diced; chilli, finely diced to taste; diced celery, to taste. Add these to the oil after the seeds have started to 'pop', and sauter until translucent.
Tomato: 3 medium, finely diced, added to the pot.
Season the sauce: salt, ground pepper, Maggi, a good splash of V8 juice, herbs of your liking (I used Italian, tarragon, 2 kinds of curry powder (not too much, this isn't a curry, they're just for depth), and a good tablespoon of turmeric, just for health. Two heaping teaspoons of wholegrain mustard add a lot.
Add a good big clove of garlic (crushed) towards the end of the cooking time, along with the juice of 1/3 of a lime. Stir well, and let blend.
MASHED POTATOES: old 'n easy, just boil some walnut-sized potato chunks in some water, when they're tender (test with 'Granny's' fork) smush them with a good utensil, add a good slab of unsalted butter, salt & pepper, and set aside to warm in the oven.
When your sauce is done (you might want to taste, to make sure you've got it right), add the beans, the beetroot, and the turnip, stir well and simmer for a few minutes so that the flavours combine.
Warm your plates (1 minute in a full-whack microwave.)
Serve, laying down a bed of mash, and topping with the stew.
Delicious winter meal, and — depending on your quantities — great for leftovers reheated in the zapper!
The nice thing about this is that the veggie flavours remain independent, and are bound together by the sauce. You'll get a bit of turnip with sauce, a bit of beet with sauce, a bit of bean with sauce, and they're all delicious!
The husband is often skeptical of these new-fangled cookbooks that make their way into our home. And, not unlike many high school home-ec teachers, he prefers an older edition of The Joy of Cooking to all other cookbooks. But he dutifully thumbed through Vegan with a Vengeance and saw that it contains a recipe for biscuits, one that was veganized from an old school Betty Crocker recipe, so he thought he'd give it a go. He is the starch king after all, so he whipped up a batch of those, along with mashed potatoes...while I made the batter-fried seitan and gravy (one of our standards). Mmmmmm, starch-y. We will be making those biscuits again. But I do want to try something from the cookbook other than carb-laden goods. Next on the list, the white bean and roasted garlic soup.
To satisfy my English brekkie cravings, we ended up at Paddington's (again!) These hearty pancakes are just what was needed for a lazy Sunday brunch :)

There's plenty of room for all God's creatures. Right next to the mashed potatoes.

Wednesday evening 08th-March-2023
My Employer had an event called Dinner on The Hill. They had a meal waiting for me when I went on lunch break
Roast turkey, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, Corn and Pumpkin Pie. They served over 500 meals that evening. At the end of the evening they gave me 2 more meals so my wife and I could have lunch the nest day
It was delicious!!!
There's nothing better than having dinner at my Aunt and Uncles home. All the vegetables you see were picked fresh from the garden this morning. Not pictured are the glass of iced tea and the glass of homemade plum wine.
This was what I fixed for Thanksgiving the other day. A smallish 13lb. turkey since I live alone; mashed potatoes, home-canned green beans with Eckrich smoked sausage cut up in them; stove-top stuffing; giblet gravy; homemade yeast rolls; cranberry sauce and homemade pumpkin pie. My favorite meal of the year. Taken with my Sony Alpha SLT-a77v DSLR on November 26th, 2020. I took pictures of this on film as well, and when I finish shooting the roll and developing it, I might replace this image.
Mmm, so tender, so flavourful...
Great!

BPC#73: You say "potato" and I say "LIGHTBULB"
Ryan had a lightbulb moment at dinner tonight....
Back story: I whipped up Ryan's dress this evening, special for the challenge. I made real live mashed potatoes and hauled them in a tupperware in my purse, along with Ryan, her table, her chair and her dishes. I went to a local restaurant for my shot (by myself!!), and there were no fewer than TEN individuals seated at various tables around me. I pulled up my sleeves and went to work! One hot fudge sundae and 20 minutes later, I had my shot! :oD
This one was FUN!!!!
Made myself some turkey tacos, yes a thanksgiving dinner in a taco:-)
Turkey breast
Yams
Mashed potatoes
Cranberry jelly
Green beans
Gravy
Corn tortillas
They were delicious BTW!
My first attempt at mashed potatoes with a pat of melting butter & a sprinkle of parsley on top. They are removable from the pot, so I guess if I find the right bowl, I can put them in that instead. The pot is a cheap Barbie white plastic pot I repainted, I like the way the potatoes look next to the green color.
Thanksgiving Lunch
We don't like to eat heavy in the evening, so I prepared this for lunch. We probably won't eat another meal today, but will have a piece of pie later.
My wife worked hard to prepare a great Thanksgiving feast! We had turkey, stuffing, sweet potato casserole, corn casserole, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, gravy, and homemade crescent rolls.

I'm embarrassed to say that both those meals are mine! On Saturday lunchtimes you can eat a 2 course meal for £9.99 and go up as many times as you want - so I had a good go! I'm sorry to any critical people that you can't see much veg here, but I seemed to have a big craving for anything potato-ey!! I also had jam sponge and custard after - what a pig!!
Forgot the vodka martinis made by me. Classes of Mixology did paid off too back when I was a teenager. 😉😎 cheers!
Great new recipe - will be repeated for all big meals we have - coreyrecipes.blogspot.com/2020/05/slow-cooker-mashed-pota...
Friendships are sealed over a meal, a glass of wine and laughter! Come........share this meal with me and let us be friends!!!!!
