Bravo for the Mr. I have that editing gene, too, and have threatened to flush my cell phone when news alert test messages contain horrendous errors. It is a rare, rare thing for me to read an article or book and not find mistakes. I think I was an editor in another life. lol I was, however, denied that shopping gene.

Her husband, at the time, was just a meat and potato guy so she loved to do a lot of experimenting to get him away from just meat and potatoes. When they were done eating dinner she would ask him "well how was it" if she got "look at it this way, I would never wake up in the middle of the night craving it" she knew it wasn't a meal to make again. It's too bad when someone doesn't allow, or let themselves, appreciate new foods, they are the ones that are losing out. <br />Keep up the experiments and letting us know, please!Jerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16324579357738362688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-65297046672317078412012-08-23T17:11:34.183-04:002012-08-23T17:11:34.183-04:00I don't blog as much as I would like anymore, ...I don't blog as much as I would like anymore, but I'm always taking pictures of food and such to share on my Produce Group FB page....my hubby isn't quite as tolerant.

I'm taking pictures!" I don't know that I have the patience to be a food blogger, but I love trying out other people's things, putting my own spin on it and then savoring the amazingness of it. Of course the kids always know to bring my phone in when it's time to cook (usually it holds both the recipes we need and the camera). I don't know if I'd have so much fun changing our lifestyle if I didn't have everyone to share the results with. ;)<br /><br />Favorite meal? One that will never ever ever be topped? One that I will eat until the day I die even though it contains all of those things we're not supposed to love but absolutely do? It's not even a meal at all but a side dish. It only pops up at special dinners (like Thanksgiving) and I can gorge myself on it until I'm sick and still feel mighty happy that I ate it. Cheesy Potatoes. Hands down, best thing ever. You pull out this in one hand and a slice of the most delicious chocolate cake ever (which you know I'm a sucker for) topped with ice cream and hot fudge - I'll take the potatoes (and still beg for the cake after). Last year, even when I was trying to be good at Thanksgiving, I decided that I would cut my calories, sure...but I would do it by not eating nonsense I didn't care about. It's a carb-filled starch-overload day and always will be - mashed potatoes from scratch, cheesy potatoes, and stuffing from a box. I can live on that all day and nothing else...and I do. NOM! (OMG...now I want cheesy potatoes! How long until Thanksgiving?)callikiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07736798287027696118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-54219435616574716042012-08-23T11:23:56.483-04:002012-08-23T11:23:56.483-04:00That is so funny!

Thanks for sharing this, sometimes we don't know all the details that go into everything. <br /><br />So my favorite meal, not healthy, is my Grandma's beef roast with mashed potatoes and gravey, homemade bread and peas. I CANNOT recreate her beef roast for the life of me. She makes it sound so easy, gives me a recipe and I still can't do it. I think she's hiding something from me. By far the best cook I've ever know (mostly because she puts butter on everything).
