Does this dish reheat well - or maybe you've never had leftovers? :) lol, Melissa – my version of lazy man style is to use my mandoline, but it doesn’t have a thick cut option, so when I try the recipe, I’ll slice them by hand.

I did the potatoes lazy man style. :) I had an hour to get stuff pulled together for the party, and sliced them roughly. The slices were hearty, but it made for a more "beefy" dish- and the potatoes came out flakey and cheesy and...mmmm. (Want some now. :) Sally- you know what?

I loved the couscous salad, too. Also loved all three of the midnight pastas, and they're so easy. Thanks for the info, Anja! I loved the couscous salad, too.

Your life story is amazing and you were so gracious about those pesky personal questions. I can't wait for your new book! Sally, the one to the right of the Swedish potatoes was Asparagus au gratin. Very delicious as well. The Couscous Salad was my favorite, I made it for Thanksgiving dinner and wowed my friends. The flavors are refreshing, light, and summery, but here's a tip: If you leave out the mint, the flavor combinations in the salad become a playful take on turkey stuffing. A Thanksgiving treat that is not wearing you down. Anja Hello :)
