dammit! now i am, too! *puts it on her list* i'll have to break up The Month of Chili somehow, yes?

it's less odd for her than for someone living in florida...

it always strikes me as a cold weather fud.

I'm so tempted to go make some now, but I'll probably wait until everyone else is out of the house me no wanna share!

you make it, eh? from scratch?

yes, I do! I get the potatoes to cook quickly by slicing them thin with a food processor, boil them until done - drain if necessary

add milk, butter, and various other herbs & spices

I can taste it already

I can have a large batch done in about an hour or so - after slicing.

i'll be right there. but you won't have to share... i'll just watch and learn.

cooks her by opening a can or begging her ex mum-in-law to make some.

does, however, have some potatoes right now.

yuk - canned soups...

well... when it's what you've got...

does much prefer the other option.
