Serena's bubble and squeak

Okay, so last night I was cooking for just myself (we'll not discuss the daily pork chop for the dogs here). I am not very good at making small quantities (just look at me). Anyhow, decided to use leftovers in the fridge for din-din, chow-down last night and actually came up with something halfway decent.*

First I nuked a smallish potato, then opened it up in a bowl and chunked up the innards a bit (to say mashed would be overstating the 20 seconds I spent in there with a fork).

Then I cut up some brussel sprouts and set them to boil just for a couple of minutes. While they were turning emerald, I set the last few strips of bacon to fry up and drained the grease off. Strained out the sprouts and added them to the bacon and cooked them on low heat together until the flavours had mingled a bit (hey, nice to meet ya).

Finally dumped the mix on top of the potato & added a pat of butter to secure the deal. After all, I had to make up for draining off that grease!

Yummy, quick and smelly - rather like Curt's feet after a long day in the sneakers - I still can't stay away from 'em...



Today I am making a vegetable/bean soup. Toot-toot :)

*This isn't going to make much sense to those not in favour of brussel sprouts (Adam, you might as well skip this entry altogether) as I used them in place of cabbage.
