THINKLIA

We had another “Secret Ingredient” potluck today, but rather than have an ingredient we had a theme: Famous person’s famous dish. For example, Paula Deen’s famous gingerbread pumpkin trifle. Or Elvis’ famous peanut butter and banana sandwiches.

Today, I decided to make Sir Paul and Linda McCartney’s famous mashed potatoes. I came across this video a few years ago, and it still makes me smile. Sir Paul is truly the greatest!

I couldn’t get to sleep the other night because I kept worrying about what to do with the over abundance of zucchini and yellow squash that we have from our garden and our CSA. So I got out of bed and made a torte with layers of thinly sliced red potatoes (another veg we have too much of), sliced zucchini and squash, and covered with grated parmigiano reggiano, green onions, and fresh thyme.

Cooking is fun at any hour. Especially after midnight.
