When I started this blog I wanted to write about food and being a mother. But I seemed to shy away from posting things because I felt they weren't literarily evocative...whatever that means. And after finding that I most enjoy reading people's blogs when they are the ordinary every day life moments, I realized my blog doesn't need to be award winning literature to be worth reading. I mean c'mon, people read tabloid magazines...not that I'll be posting pictures of people's beach bums while you try and figure out whoes cellulite that is.
So on with the ordinariness.
I've been working with a community theatre as their stage manager and have been away from home 4 nights a week. Which means dinner is either a frozen dinner at 9pm or snacks at the theatre. And I really am missing cooking for my family and the weather has changed suddenly so I am craving hot comfort foods. Warm soups and filling meals of meatloaf and mashed potatoes. I love potatoes. Pretty much anyway you can cook a spud, I will eat it.
So today I wonder...how do you make your mashed potatoes? What do you add to make them creamy? Do you like lumps in them? Or do they need to be whipped into a silky smooth consistancy? I'm curious. I have my recipe and will share that next post. I just want to hear how YOU make them.

So glad to hear you're back at it with the blog!! Can't really tell you how I make them, but I'll ask Sean, as he's the cook around here! Personally, I like them a little lumpy, reds with the skin left on, make sure there's some garlic in there, add a little cream cheese and I'm pretty happy!!
I LOVE tators too. French fried, tots, mashed, baked....you name it.
I grew up on instant potato flakes, so when I got married and moved out on my own I was determined to only make real mashed tators. We keep is simple. Butta, Milk and a little sour cream if we have some in the house (that isn't expired.)
So exciting to hear you're managing a community theater. Some how I missed that. Good for you!
Please keep writing! I love all kinds of nonsense; tabloids, potty stories. Bring it on!
I'm glad that you are blogging again.
Mmmm potatoes. I love them.
I love garlic in my mashed potatoes.
