Ernie “The Banana” is up from Kiwi for a week or so. “The Banana” is his own definition of himself. He’s Chinese by race but born and raised in Kiwi; so he’s yellow on the outside and white on the inside. Read more More racial overtones & undertones there than I can even guess at but they don’t seem to worry anybody; he’s just a good mate that comes to visit now and then. Had him up to dinner and wanted to do something different so fixed local lobster, a fresh green salad & Taters Galatia. Okay, so I’m a fixated sorta bloke and I got mashed potatoes on my mind. This recipe just sorta happened. The only things I had to cook for this were the potatoes & asparagus; everything else that needed cooking was already cooked; they call them leftovers. “The Banana” loved the lot. See less

- The lobster main course was a good choice. If you have a bland main course the potatoes will dominate the meal. See Photo
- Its avocado season here and I have half a dozen of them ripening in a basket by the window. I did some thin slices off a ripe one and laid them on top of the potatoes See Photo. Fantastic but not necessary.
