Spent the afternoon tinkering in the kitchen. We had fish cakes (from the NYT). As usual, I didn't feel like boiling a potato so I used potato flakes; plus for once I actually remembered to make the mixture a few hours ahead. I found that it didn't want to cohere as much as I might like, but they still fried up nicely. Served them with sour cream mixed with chipotle and lime. We also had roasted potatoes (from Serious Eats; as I did the last couple of times, I tossed them with olive oil, rosemary and garlic after roasting. Jason loves these). AND I tried to recreate the delicious green beans I had in Chicago at The Girl & the Goat. They weren't quite as good (I should have cooked them in the wok at a higher heat), and it felt like a lot of steps, but they were pretty tasty (they make excellent cold leftovers).
Finally, I threw together flan. Never fails and we ate way too much of it.
