No Promises

cumin-crusted salmon & rosemary-garlic mashed potatoes
-or-
how to be poor & still eat good

to start:
like 8 cloves of garlic, seriously.

in an oven-safe bowl, in the toaster oven
with a dribble of oil over the top
and a tent of re-used foil
set it to 375 and forget all about it
(until your house starts smelling like garlic)
(in a borderline-worrisome manner)

cut up some potatoes you got for free
boil them in water for longer than you think
drain
pour a bit of milk on top
shake shake shake some fresh parmesan
a dash of salt
ok, a few more dashes
one more.
a bit of black pepper
a whole lot of rosemary
blend it up

thaw some frozen salmon from trader joe's
(DID YOU FORGET)
roll it around in a bowl with :
    3 tbsp cumin
    4 tsp paprika
    1/2 tsp salt
    1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
fry it in a pan
squeeze a little lime on top

pour some chipotle vodka in a glass
(vodka + dried chipotle peppers + one week)
that much water, too
and some juice from that lime
& agave nectar
(more than that.)
repeat x 3
OK.
