no prob...I no go get picture sha...
it's a pretty basic one...but I cna't really tell you the measurements..I kinda just toss things in there till it tastes the way I want it to/

Potatoes (I prefer red-skinned)
Salt
pepper
butter
Milk.

Peel potaoes, but leave some skin on (I like the skin in tehm)
shake some salt into the potatoes and boil untill soft
strain water out, and mash with potato masher till smooth
mix in salt, pepper, milk, butter, and whatever extra thing you might want to use...some folks use heavy cream...sha that increases your fat content..I've even seen some recipes where they include mayonaise. Sometimes i add some cheese to it, and garnish with parsley..and you're good to go

Here's the recipe for the Tandori chicken pasta I posted above. (don't know if you noticed, but some of those pics are from cabbage that I made separately)
I got the recipe from a recipe card at the grocery store. They advertise their gourmet sauces with the recipes and let you taste them in the store...so I liked it and tried it out. Not sure how you'd make it without the sauce, but I guess you can find Tandori sauce somewhere
anyhoo here's the recipe

• 2 tbs Tandori Sauce
• 1 lb Chicken, cooked
• Linguini pasta (or pasta of your choice, I used wheat Rotini)
• 1/3cups Red bell pepper, cut in strips (I used green, cause I didn't have any red at home)
• 1/2cups Sliced Mushrooms (I omitted these, I’m not a big mushroom fan)
• 1tbs Olive oil
• ½ cup Heavy Cream/pasta water (unfortunately, I forgot this part and drained the pasta water , so I just used water, and then put a little whipped cream in it)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Boil Pasta and drain (keep water, if you’re using the water)
Cook Chicken in olive oil (I spiced it with my usual spices, red pepper...etc)
Cook pepper, mushrooms, & garlic until soft
Add pasta, chicken, cream, and Tandori sauce
Combine until coated and add parmesan cheese.
