As Nomday grows and changes, I am thrilled to add one more interesting twist. The film segment. Every Sunday evening, we host a dinner and movie with a few close friends. I thought it might be fun to mention the films as well as the foods on occasion. Films and foods will be of course related to one another. Like, this week’s:
The Last Starfighter Comfort Food
The Last Starfighter is one of those classic campy 80’s sci-fi flicks that makes every gamer geek keep trying for that high score, just in case, you know, it might help him save the universe. A little trivia about this film, Wil Wheaton might be in there somewhere.
So, what sort of food goes well with a story about a kid in a trailer park who becomes something so much more?
Homemade Mashed Potatoes
Serves: 8 to 12
Cost: $10.00
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Equipment:
Large cooking pot
Potato Masher
Strainer
Ingredients:
12 Large Potatoes
2 cups Milk
2 tbsp Butter
Salt & Pepper to taste
Boil potatoes until soft. (Note: if you do not like the peel on the potato, it will practically “rinse” off after boiling. Also, cutting the potatoes into chunks will reduce boiling time). Strain potatoes and return to pot. Mash potatoes with masher. Add milk, butter and spices to taste.
We had these with boxed macaroni and cheese and canned baked beans. Yes, t was a very special dinner, only missing the steamed broccoli and cheese. Enjoy! Happy Nomday!
Success the second complete! I am on a roll! This is no trouble at all!
