Is that white sauce stuff mayo?

Grilled caesar salad (sadly, no croutons or bread in the house)
jasmine rice
haricot verts with goat cheese and pecans
salmon with basil butter.

Last night I grilled some chicken sausages from the freezer. Mr Gfunk (sugar hound that he is) wanted Boston baked beans, but we don't have any because I don't buy that sugary junk unless I have to. So I looked up a couple recipes and threw together a version of them that we both liked a lot!

Cut up a couple slices of bacon and fried in a small pot with some chopped onion
Add two cans of beans , rinsed
some bbq sauce
some Heinz chili sauce
a little A1
a little lemon juice
a little brown sugar
a little hot sauce

stir and heat in the pot

how was the cauliflower ?
and what happened to the steak?

the cauliflower was fab - very impressive. I will boil it less time in the future - organic cauliflower is smaller than regular cauliflower.
i should recook it for today! We had it Wednesday night with poached salmon.

i grilled the steak for Wednesday luncheon. My spouse had it with mint, cilantro, and lime. I had it plain with a side of chips & salsa.

Last night’s supper was grilled turkey burgers & cheeseburger sliders with oven-baked french fries. i let the fries cook longer than desired because I thought there was a high desire for crunch.

Greek stuffed peppers with home-grown rocket and pea shoot salad. Washed down with Cotes du Rhone.

Correct. Why would we have a giant bowl of mayonnaise?

bowls of white can resemble anything. Plus some cultures dip stuff into mayo :-)

Well...... they do look kinda soft and a bit glossy on top. I would not have guessed they were mashed potatoes.

If you whip them with a mixer and don't stop soon enough, you get paste. (Not saying that's what happened here. ;))

I think the conventional wisdom is not to use a mixer. I think this controversy might warrant it's own thread. Mashed potatoes should not be put through a food processor nor mixing beaters...they will get gummy.

Susiecakes chocolate cake and iced milk for supper.
Trader Joe’s chicken Shu Mai for appetizer.

Yup, considering set up and clean up time, a potato masher is faster than any machine. Great texture control and clean up is a breeze.

A lot more clean up but I prefer a ricer.
