For Garlic Mashed
Potatoes Portion
Ingredients
5 pounds Russet

3 heads To 5
Heads Roasted Garlic

Regular Salted Butter (3/4 Cup)
8 ounces,

Half-and-half (Or Heavy Cream, If You're Feeling Naughty)
Salt To Taste
Black Pepper To
Taste
Instructions
In a small frying
with a little bit of olive oil, throw in some garlic and cook until it is
tender. Because we want to make it look roasted.
After the
potaotoes have been peeled, cut into pieces
and cook in boiling water until it is fork-tender.
Drain water and
return to pot, and mash potatoes over low heat until lots of the steam has
escaped.
Next, mash in
softened low fat butter, low fat cream cheese, half-and-half, and salt to taste.
Dump in three to
five heads of roasted garlic cloves; stir together, then check seasoning.
Be sure to salt
adequately.
Add some fresh
ground black pepper, and serve with one or two roasted garlic cloves on top.
For
the Asparagus Portion
Ingredients
2 pounds fresh asparagus
Good olive oil
Kosher salt, plus extra for sprinkling
Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Break off the tough ends of the asparagus.
If they're thick, peel them.
Put the asparagus on a cookie sheet.
Drizzle them with olive oil, then toss to coat the
asparagus entirely.
Spread the asparagus in a single layer and sprinkle
liberally with salt and pepper.
Roast the asparagus for 25 minutes, until tender but
still crisp.
