Last night's dinner.

Was pretty good, actually. I realized that this blog is supposed to be about domestication, and it seems all I've been focusing on are table arrangements/weddings/bruce springsteen.

Thus:


Wild turbot fillets (they were frozen from Trader Joe's, okay?) with HOMEMADE THYME MASHED POTATOES, roasted red pepper sauce (also homemade), and salad (ditto on the homemade). I know, fish with mashed potatoes? But don't hate. It was kind of cold in LA last night, and mashed potatoes just seemed right, and it wasn't like we were having company over or anything. Besides, I'm a big proponent of mashed potatoes, anytime, anywhere.

Instructions:

+Bake the fish with a slice of lemon for about 10 minutes at 375.
+Get a jar of roasted red peppers, puree the contents (minus some juice) in a food processor with salt and pepper.
+Peel and dice a few papas, then boil til soft, then put in lots of butter, milk, salt, thyme (I only had dried) and pepper, then mix with a hand mixer.
+Thinly slice cucumbers, place on bed of lettuce, drizzle with dressing of your choice.
