[bearfan454]

brown gravy, and biscuits with butter and honey. I'm doing the dishes too. I like the potatoes a little lumpy. Do you ?

[proud patriot]

1. I like a little lumpy ,because then you know it's real

super smooth makes me think instant .

[undergroundrailroad]

6. LOL! That's the standard I use ;-)

UGRR :hi:

[bearfan454]

11. My Mom(franmarz) used to make instant potatoes and put in one real

potato.

[calico1]

2. Yes, definitely lumpy.

And with the peel. Do you leave the peel on?

[bearfan454]

12. No.

Mrs bearfan doesn'tlike the peel.

[calico1]

17. Oh too bad. I think they are better that way! n/t

[deadmessengers]

3. I'll be right over.

DAMN that just made me hungry.

[undergroundrailroad]

4. Ummm. That sounds good!

I love your menu!

Undergroundrailroad :hi:

5. Don't peel the potatoes first - and what's for dessert?

I don't do meat but...

[bearfan454]

15. I don't do sweets.

We have ice cream bars and fudgesicles in the freezer for Mrs bearfan and our granddaughter. I got her skeleton costume today. She wants to be a skeleton. She's 4.

7. MMMMMM! Can I eat at your house tonight? I'll bring a pie! And wine!

I love MMMMMMMMMeatloaf!

8. Definitely lumpy potatoes

I used to whip mine thinking my new (25 years ago) husband would think they were more elegant that way. Then, he confessed he liked them lumpy better.

I try to use Yukon Gold potatoes for the extra flavor.

Say, could I have your recipe for green beans with bacon? I have some homegrown beans I froze.

[bearfan454]

13. Boil them and dice up some bacon.

Fry it up kind of limp and pour grease and all over the green beans, Mrs bearfan's Mom makes it that way for Thanksgiving.

[wryter2000]

18. Thanks

I'm going to have to try that. :yourock:

[da_chimperor]

9. Yes, lumpy is good

I like the texture better. I also prefer chunky to smooth peanut butter, but I think that anyone in their right mind prefers chunky :D

[AlamoDemoc]

10. Now that's what I call Yummie!!

[bigwillq]

14. Yummy Yummy in my tummy

I'll be over soon!:hi:

[RetroLounge]

20. Taylor Tx

Been here since 1984 when repuke Raygun let the imports close down my steel mill.

[kwyjibo]

21. I like the skins in, with lots of garlic, and some herbs and pepper

and cheese. mmmmmm.

[flvegan]

22. Meatloaf? Best served under glass

As was done at Castle Transylvania. C'mon, you knew it was coming.

Bet it's very tasty...

[amazona]

23. hmm let me get your address again

I'll be right over. You can hold those green beans on the bacon, though.

:-)

In all seriousness, yes, I much prefer a little lumpy in my mashed potatoes to those nasty overly creamed recipes that remind me of baby food. I don't even object to a tiny bit of potato peel.
