Andor is good good Star Wars.

Mögt ihr Kartoffelpüree? Ich liebe es und finde, dass Kartoffelpüree immer auch ein Stück Kindheitserinnerung ist, oder? Jeder kennt doch den Klassiker Fischstäbchen, Spinat und Kartoffelpüree! Bei meinen Kindern und vor allem bei meiner Tochter ist das jedenfalls hoch im Kurs und so kommt es, dass ich dieses Evergreen-Gericht so oft kochen muss, dass ich es ehrlich gesagt manchmal schon gar nicht mehr mitessen möchte. Und das ist komisch, denn eigentlich liebe ich Kartoffelpüree ja auch! Aber immer die gleiche Kombo nervt dann etwas und so dachte ich mir, dass man das vielleicht mal neu arrangieren müsste und heraus kam dieses Rezept für ein Basilikumkartoffelpüree oder eben "Basil mashed potatoes". Abgerundet wird dieses herrlich frisch grün aussehende Püree von gerösteten Pinienkernen und dem tollen Aroma von ein paar Spänen Grana Padano oder Parmesan. So einfach verwandelt ihr unser geliebtes, aber sehr geerdetes, Kartoffelpüree in eine mediterrane Grazie!

A straight forward talk about deciding to make a difference by counting your blessings, naming them one by one and deciding to make some train noise to get over the hump. You will be challenged and encouraged from this very real message about self evaluation and direction.
