My Culinary Adventures: Domino Potatoes with Steamed Broccoli

This is the very first dish I made.  It turned out delicious, except for the butter taste on the potatoes.  The way butter is sold here is in sticks, but they are not refrigerated and don't need refrigeration.  I'm not sure if it was the brand or that specific type of butter, but it gave the potatoes a different taste.  Next time, I'm sticking to the good stuff.  My recipes are not going to have the exact measurements because most of the time I played by ear.  Just trust your own judgment and do a bunch of taste tests and it should be fine :)

Potato Dominoes: Recipe adapted from Steamy Kitchen

Steamed Broccoli
Ingredients
1 Head Broccoli
Olive Oil or Vegetable Oil
Minced Garlic
Lemon Juice
Sliced Almonds
  1. Break broccoli into large bite-sized florets, and cut and peel the stem
  2. Rinse broccoli well with whatever you use to rinse veggies.  For me it'd be that Chlorox/water mix then rinsed with drinking water.
  3. In a pot, bring an inch of water to a boil.
  4. Add the broccoli to the pot and cover with lid.
  5. Reduce heat to medium and cook until broccoli is crisp-tender.
  6. Drain water from broccoli and return to pot.
  7. In a frying pan, heat a little bit of olive oil (or whatever oil you have) and add minced garlic, lemon juice, and sliced almonds.  Cook until you think it's done..
  8. Add to broccoli and mix well
