Quick and Simple

It's been a few weeks since I've made a "no-fuss" dinner at home.
(Simple sometimes is best. 20 minutes tops)

It's been a lot of dining and eating out for the past few weeks, so staying at home tonight was a good change of pace. Not to mention it's such a money saver.





















- Sauerkraut cooked with Sam Adams Cream Stout Beer
- Bauernwurst (Schaller and Weber) steamed on a bed of Sauerkraut
- Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes
- Cucumber Salad tossed with Creamy Mustard Dressing
- German Course Mustard
- Victory Storm King

The one thing J wanted really bad was some homemade mashed potatoes so I took a little more care than usual this time and really nailed it out of the park.

Porthos's Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes
6 large Yukon Golds
4oz Light Cream
3oz Butter
1oz Shaved Piave Cheese
Salt and Pepper to taste

Peel and quarter the potatoes. Boil in salted water till fork tender. Drain and add rest of ingredients. Mix well and adjust cream to desired consistency.
