Monday 4 January
Holt's Christmas gift was a new Börner
V Power mandoline, more adjustable than our old Benriner, so tonight he tried
it out on four little sweet potatoes we've had sitting around here. Though the instructions were almost
incomprehensible, he managed to turn out a pile of well-cut fries in very
little time.
We threw them on the pan with a
little frying chicken, tossed them in olive oil, salt, and a little cumin and
pimenton, and roasted at 400º for under an hour. And you know, both chicken and fries came out
crispy and delicious at about the same time.
There is more to celebrate about
this meal than even we thought - this marks our 3000th
post on What Holt and Barbara Had for Dinner!!! Is there some sort of prize for being this
persistent, or compulsive, or time-wasting?
If so, let us know - a Julie and
Julia type blog-into-movie deal wouldn't be bad either, though we refuse to
have a marriage crisis just to get one.
