September 15th: Curried burgers with peach salsa and olive-oil smashed potatoes

I write this at 10:15 p.m., with Olivia in bed beside me, wide awake and playing with the camera. Sometimes, that's just how it goes.

Tonight's supper was a second try of a recipe that impressed us last year; from September 2009's Chatelaine: Curried burgers with peach salsa. I made them last year using ground pork; Greg made them today using ground beef. In both cases they were surprisingly good. I'm generally not a burger fan, in part because I don't like buns, and also because burgers tend to be boring. This recipe solves both problems: lots of flavour, and I skip the bun.

The recipe also provides a vegetarian version.

With the burgers tonight, Greg made, from September 2010's Chatelaine: Smashed potatoes with olive oil and salt (no parsley). All of which was delicious when I yet again returned home from the gym, this time after six days in a row of teaching. Thank goodness for tomorrow's day off.

Tomorrow! Which reminds me, there will likely be no post tomorrow, as I'm going out for supper with friends. OUT! FOR SUPPER! WITH FRIENDS! Such a rare occurrence, it merits shouting.
