This is a simple side that requires only a few ingredients most folks have around the kitchen, the key here is drying out the cucumber slices for a good minute so they are not so crisp. I cut up these cucumbers right before going to the gym so when I got back they would be good to go. If you like cucumbers you pretty much can’t go wrong with this side dish. J and Z both gave it the thumbs up and I pretty much like everything so that’s a given. Apparently these are great for little brown bread sandwiches, a traditional English tea-time snack. J actually pointed out a tiny ceramic bread baking dish at the thrift store last weekend and I was like, nah I don’t have any real use for it right now. Of course a few days later I’m wanting to make a tiny loaf of brown bread. Hopefully it’s still there this weekend, fingers crossed.

These fries are easy to make and a healthy whole food snack. I tend to buy a bag of potatoes and eat some then end up wasting the rest (J loves to remind me of that every time I put a new bag in the shopping cart). I think it’s because potatoes seem to take f o r e v e r. Boil, mash, add butter and milk and fry up garlic or bake for 40 minutes to an hour, come on really? These probably take about as long but they just seem to take less time and involve less work to me. Chop and bake, dip and enjoy! I’ve made these about 4 times in the past couple weeks and have actually been using up all my potatoes now and no waste. I’m going to try garlic butter fries one of these times (though honey mustard and fries will always be my #1). The possibilities here are endless. Experiment and have fun, salsa verde fries?

This meal was light and great. This could be the best way I’ve cooked asparagus to date (which is only like my 3rd time). Baking it was awesome! It gave it a light toasty outside with a soft flavorful inside. So yummy even on its own. The balsamic reduction was wonderful and worked well when mixed with the fish and lemon. I cooked the fish the same way as I did for the curry styley because it’s super simple, clean and tastes awesome. Just like the first time I cooked fish this way, and just like the asparagus, it tasted great by itself. Add a little pepper and lemon and wow! I had to half the asparagus recipe because its all the asparagus I had but I could have eaten the full amount no problemo. I give this dish two big fat kiss’s **, yum nom nom.
