parisienne potatoes

sunday dinner:

well, after a good gym workout, i felt the need to restock my empty cupboards and fridge. so off to woolworths i went to shop! :)

so sunday dinner was an experience.

i had parisienne potatoes with a garlic and butter type sauce. the parisienne potatoes are really easy to make. just make a small hole in the bag of the parisienne potatoes and chuck it in the microwave for 8 minutes or so. i suppose i could have left it in a few minutes longer. anyway, the garlic and butter mix with the parisienne potatoes and give them a delicious taste. i was also surprised that the fat content of the parisienne potatoes was so low - i'm definately going to start making them more often in the future.

i also bought some wheat free pumpkin seed rye bread. the bread is made from rye flour together with a combination of pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds.

The pumpkin seed rye bread is a little pricy, but it's nice to have it once in awhile, especially since it's part of the margaret roberto selection.

according to the packaging, rye flour has a low gluten content which makes it ideal for individuals with a gluten allergy. i don't think i have a gluten allergy but it is still good to know that i'm eating healthy.

i had bought a packet of fresh norwegian salmon ribbons, and a tub of low fat, actually it was fat free smooth cottage cheese. so i take a piece of the pumkin seed rye bread, add a strip (or should that be a ribbon :)) of norwegian salmon, having already laid some cream cheese onto the bread. then a dash of lemon juice (unfortunately i didn't have any lemons, so lemon juice out of the bottle will have to do), and then a dash of black pepper, and i have a smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich.

but i wanted to take the sandwich to the next level, so i also cut a piece of spring onion into small diced pieces (i'm still not sure what they mean by diced when speaking about food), and sprinkled the spring onion onto the top of the salmon cream cheese sandwich.

so you can picture the dinner - a bag of parisienne potatoes accompanied by smoke salmon cream cheese sandwiches. the perfect meal for a lazy sunday night.

especially since phone booth was the movie of the night on tv, and the last time i saw phone booth was on circuit a few years ago. anyway, phone booth didn't disappoint, as colin farrel plays the role brilliantly.
