It's challenge time!

Comment with Just One Thing you've accomplished in the last 24 hours or so. It doesn't have to be a hard thing, or even a thing that you think is particularly awesome. Just a thing that you did.

Feel free to share more than one thing if you're feeling particularly accomplished! Extra credit: find someone in the comments and give them props for what they achieved!

Nothing is too big, too small, too strange or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.

Go!

I went grocery shopping yesterday and got 5lbs of potatoes for $1.99 - not an amazing price, but not terrible.

Then, today, different store, had 10lb bags for $0.99

So now I have 15lbs of potatoes, for ONE person :D

I shall be distributing potatoes to people I think :D I have other single friends and will be asking around if anyone wants a few potatoes. And I am going to be looking for a recipe that uses potatoes for this weeks meals, LOL

But hey - cheap spuds! Can't miss out on that!

Try this ...

* A baked potato can be topped with many things such as chili, madras lentils, cheese, sour cream, bacon, etc.

* Similar toppings work with hasselback potatoes, but onion or bell pepper slices in the cuts also work well.

* Mashed potatoes as a side one day, the leftovers used as a top layer for cottage pie or shepherd's pie the next.

* Our favorite mashed potato makeover is bacon potato soup. Chop bacon, cook until it softens, add diced onion, cook until that softens. Add the mashed potatoes and enough half-and-half to make it soupy. Throw in a handful of shredded cheese, wait for that to melt in. Done.

* Diced cooked potatoes with chopped corned beef make excellent hash.

The key to using up a lot of something without culinary exhaustion is to vary the use in terms of texture, flavor, etc.

Done!

We got up early to catch the native plant sale at a local nature center. In addition to perennials, they had several kinds of tree seedlings in pots! :D
