Well, here we are at Thursday again, and the weather in my kingdom is too warm and too humid, and we need rain. That means I’ll have to go out on my front steps and holler ‘Send rain!’ at the sky gods.<\/p>\n
Favorite winter dishes include scalloped potatoes with ham, with a really thick cheese sauce; a chicken casserole made with condensed potato soup, leftover chicken, some frozen vegs and a box of dressing; and (finally) hash browns with chopped onions and bits of cooked sausage thrown in to the mix.<\/p>\n
Potatoes, as a food object, can provide just as much high nutrient value as a variety of other stuff. Someone once told me that you can live a very healthy life on potatoes and buttermilk. I pointed out that it would get boring after a while, unless there is nothing else.<\/p>\n
If the late blight fungus hadn’t invaded the Irish soil, the Irish might not have migrated to America and become bakers, cops and teamsters, and whatever else was available in the USA at the time.<\/p>\n
Potatoes are also an inexpensive staple food, as are corn and squash. Ah, acorn squash, baked with lots of butter, pepper and salt! Gimme some!<\/p>\n
But this is<\/em> a free-for-all post, so anything that will fill you up, including potatoes, and make you happy is okay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
