Had a Great Day

Mostly at TJHSST Alumni Day. Got to meet sovietkitsch in person, which was lovely. Also got to hang some with happypete and owenthomas, and a whole bunch of others of my fellow geeks. :) Much enjoyment was had.

Leftover Mashed Potatoes

Had some in the fridge this AM. So i:

Minced an onion, a couple carrots, and some celery.
Put them in a pan and sauteed until onion was almost translucent, then lowered the heat and sweated the mirepoix to umamiful perfection, then added one can of good tuna, well drained, and a healthy amount of dried chervil, stirring to combine, then stirring now and again until the tuna was darkened some. Oh, added a chopped green onion with the tuna and chervil, reserving some of the chopped green part.

Meanwhile, put the potatoes in a large bowl, and added the stuff in the pan, stirring well to combine thoroughly. Put a fresh pan on the stove, heated it on med-high, added oil, and fried the potato-bound patties to crispy perfection, placing them on a plate and topping with the reserved green parts of green onion and some sriricha.

A wondrous breakfast that would have been just as wonderful without the tuna.
